Why seek the care of a board certified surgeon?
Animals deserve the very best care possible. Just as humans are treated by specialists for a variety of medical reasons, animals should be treated by veterinary specialists when advanced care is warranted. Surgery often warrants that care. ACVS Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeons can provide that care.
There are a variety of reasons to seek a veterinary surgeon:

- Internship: at least 1 year
- Residency: at least 3 years
- Specialists are more likely to see complicated cases.
