“VSSOC has been the leader in surgical care for the pets of Southern California for decades. We are excited to expand our practice into this new facility where our world-class surgeons can continue to provide a level of care that just isn’t possible elsewhere in the region,” said Dr. Richard Pankowski, VSSOC Hospital Administrator. “Our commitment to help pets, their families, and the referring veterinary community remains steadfast. We view our role as a privilege and a responsibility that we take seriously. We look forward to opening our new doors to the public.”
Advanced veterinary surgical procedures performed at VSSOC include cardiothoracic, emergency/trauma, oncologic, minimally invasive, neurologic, orthopedic, soft tissue, and reconstructive, among others. PennHIP screening and an array of diagnostic imaging modalities are also available.
VSSOC was one of the first specialty practices to receive the Accredited Referral Practice designation by the American Animal Hospital Association over a decade ago. More than 900 aspects of the practice are evaluated to earn and keep this accreditation, further supporting the choice of VSSOC as the best surgical resource for a pet.
Their current location at 2965 Edinger Avenue in Tustin, CA, within the Advanced Veterinary Specialty Group (AVSG) building, affords them the ability to provide access to board-certified veterinary specialists in cardiology, dermatology, emergency/critical care, and internal medicine should a patient’s condition warrant a multi-specialty approach. VSSOC is part of Veritas Veterinary Partners, a group of some of the finest emergency and specialty practices in the nation. Visit vssoc.com to learn more or take a tour of the new Surgery Center.
