Avanza Veterinary Surgery
Board-certified mobile surgery — DACVS specialist bringing orthopedic and soft-tissue expertise to your veterinarian's clinic
Avanza Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary practice in Denver, CO.
About
Avanza Veterinary Surgery is a Denver-based mobile specialty surgical practice founded and led by Dr. Diana Davila, DVM, Diplomate ACVS — a board-certified small-animal surgeon with over a decade of experience at multi-specialty referral hospitals. Rather than requiring pets to travel to a specialty centre, Avanza brings full surgical capability directly to your veterinarian's clinic, performing procedures on-site using Dr. Davila's own equipment. This model keeps pets in familiar surroundings, maintains continuity with their regular vet team, and removes the cost and staffing burden of in-house surgical suites for GP practices. Dr. Davila is bilingual in English and Spanish, and her stable team — surgical technician Sarah Bring (since 2014) and veterinary assistant Eleonora Minino (since 2019) — reflects an unusually low turnover rate for a surgical practice. Services span the full range of orthopedic surgery (TPLO, patellar luxation, fracture repair, FHO, elbow surgery) and complex soft-tissue procedures (splenectomy, gastropexy, intestinal resection, TECA, brachycephalic airway correction, and more).
