Your pet’s health and well-being is very important to us.  Dr Blotner has special training in the use of surgical lasers, and we are pleased to offer laser surgery as a better alternative to traditional surgery.  In our surgical procedures, the laser replaces the scalpel blade and offers many benefits.  Very few veterinary clinics are able to offer this type of care, and we are proud to be one of them. The use of a surgical laser is ideal for many procedures.  We use our laser with the majority of the surgeries that are done here.  Many laser procedures can be done as outpatient or same day surgery, without an overnight stay. 

The Advantages of Laser Surgery: 

• LESS PAIN:  the laser seals nerve endings resulting in much less pain post op
• LESS BLEEDING:  the laser seals small blood vessels resulting in much less bleeding
• LESS SWELLING: the laser seals the lymphatics resulting in much less swelling

• Patients are less likely to chew and lick the incisions resulting in fewer complications.
• Patients recover more quickly and more comfortably.
• Patients will go home sooner than with traditional scalpel surgery.
• The laser kills bacteria and viruses so less chance of infection.
• The need for sutures and bandages is greatly reduced in many procedures.
