We went to the TVEH for a surgery consult (bone fragments in the shoulder) with our younger dog a couple of years ago. We met with Dr. Gillick and he left a very good impression. He was very thorough and went in detail through the options (surgical and non-surgical). After that we came to the conclusion that we would give it a little more time (bone fragments will move around and can either move into or out of the joint) and were pleasantly surprised that the limping stopped and we no longer needed the surgery.
With our older dog we had TPLO surgery at the VEC (
Veterinary Emergency Clinic - VEC SOUTH: 920 Yonge St. - (416) 920-2002 VEC NORTH: 280 Sheppard Ave. East - (416) 226-3663) in 2012. Our vet had initially recommended either the TVEH or the VEC for the surgery consult, but since this dog had a couple of other surgeries shortly before at the VEC and they were able to see us the next day for the consult and perform surgery the following day we went that route.
