While all veterinarians are trained to perform surgery, only a fraction of them go on to pursue advanced specialty training in veterinary surgery. If your dog or cat require surgery—especially if it’s a complex procedure—there’s a tremendous advantage in having it performed by someone with the depth of experience of a specialist.

The COVE’s veterinary surgical specialist, Jeff T. Stallings, DVM, DACVS, is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, the specialty board that sets the standards for veterinary surgery. He remains on the leading edge of his profession through ongoing professional education and the techniques he hones as one of this region’s busiest—and most respected—veterinary surgical specialists.
