Southeastern Veterinary Surgery Center

I was referred here by my primary veterinarian after my puppy broke his leg and it began to heal with a significant curve in the bone. To make matters worse, his wrists became extremely weak after we had to keep him on crate rest for over a month. When I first brought him to Dr. Wayne, he warned me that we may be looking at some very intensive, expensive surgery to fix my puppy’s problems. Given that my puppy was purchased to be a sport dog, I was devastated - the surgery he recommended would potentially end my puppy’s sport career before it started. That said, Dr Wayne chose to wait and see how my puppy grew and progressed with physical therapy before he would consent to do the surgery, and for that I’m grateful. This is not a clinic that is only in it for the money. They could have charged me for an expensive surgery (we’re talking easily 5k or more), but they chose to wait and see how my dog progressed before putting him through something so invasive before they were absolutely sure it was the best possible thing for him. I’m happy to say that because of their guidance and care, my puppy has made a full recovery without surgery. If they recommend surgery for your pet, it is because they think it is what is absolutely best for them. I’m happy to recommend this place because I think they truly care about animals as well as the humans that love them. I’m not saying that your dog will have the same amazing recovery that mine did - every case is different. I can say that these folks are compassionate and experienced and know what they are doing. Calder appreciates you and so do I!

Other than one misunderstanding with staff, this doc (and other staff) was fabulous. He Explained things so I could understand. His staff reiterated to me all his directions and had them typed up on paper upon discharge. I was very pleased that they called me with updates on my dog also. Well worth the money spent for such a great team and peace of mind on my puppy.

My dog had surgery the beginning of January 2021. They were not good with communicating with me about my dog. I called constantly because I was not receiving any updates. My dog was dropped of early morning before 7:45 AM however his surgery was not done until after hours. His two week post-op appointment was scheduled when he was picked up the next day after surgery because they kept him overnight. They called me the day before his two week appointment after 4:00 PM to tell me that had to cancel all appointments that were scheduled the next day and that they are rescheduling all appointments for the following week. The appointment was for my dog to have stitches taken out. The clerk advised that I could take my dog to their veterinarian to have the stiches taken out and that I would possibly have to pay for them to do that. Why would I take my dog to their vet to have stitches taken out when it is included in the price I paid for the surgery?!?! Makes no sense! They also advise you not to bathe or groom the dog two weeks after surgery. So now my dog is going on 3 weeks with no bath due to the rescheduling of his follow up appointment . With the amount of money that was paid for this surgery, there is no reason why things should not be going better or more smooth than it has been. The doctor I will say is very nice and knowledgeable. But it has definitely been a hassle since my dog has had surgery.

Excellent Surgeon!!! Our puppy has a little age on her and need leg surgery. He was very good with communication and our puppy is back to her old self!!!!

Dr. Wayne did an excellent job on both surgeries with our dog Tiger. It's been over a year and Tiger's up and running like he's a much younger dog. The staff were always professional and understanding while we asked hundreds of questions.
