Frequently asked questions

How much does orthopedic surgery care cost in California?

Orthopedic Surgery procedures in California typically run from about $1,200 to $12,000 depending on the exact procedure, your pet's size, and case complexity. Use a free cost estimator for a region- and case-adjusted figure before you book a consultation.

What should I look for in an orthopedic surgery specialist?

Look for a board-certified specialist — a diplomate of the relevant veterinary college — rather than a general practice offering the service occasionally. Board certification, case volume in the specific procedure you need, and modern on-site diagnostics and surgical facilities are what distinguish a referral specialist from a primary-care vet.
