Dr. Lisa Hillier and Dr. Cheryl O’Neal have over 38 years combined experience in small animal surgery- both routine surgeries such as spays, neuters, laser declaws, and growth removals, as well as more extensive soft tissue surgeries.  Our surgery suite is equipped with Isofluorane anesthesia, pulse oximetry, EKG, blood pressure monitoring, water circulating heating unit, electrocautery, and a CO2 laser.

Any pets undergoing anesthesia at South Forsyth Animal Hospital are monitored by an experienced registered veterinary technician.  These techs are trained and licensed in veterinary anesthesia as well as other diagnostic, surgery, and dentistry related skills.  They remain with the patient during pre-op, surgery, and recovery monitoring vital signs, anaesthesia plane, and administering any needed medications.  Every surgical patient has a multi modal pain control protocol tailored for their needs. 

Laser Surgery Center:  We are proud to be one of the first veterinary hospitals to provide the many advantages of laser technology to our patients.  Now your pet can benefit from the same properties of a laser that human patients have experienced for over twenty years:  less pain, swelling, and discomfort after surgery, and the ability to resume normal activities sooner.  For more information click on Laser Surgery.
