Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit - North Phoenix
Located at 4727 E Bell Rd #11, Phoenix, AZ 85032, Dr. Kelly's Veterinary Surgical Unit stands as a dedicated center for advanced veterinary surgical care within the North Phoenix community. Our practice is built upon a foundation of surgical expertise, committed to providing the highest standard of care for companion animals requiring operative intervention.
At Dr. Kelly's, we understand that facing a surgical situation for your beloved pet can be a stressful time for owners. Our primary focus is not only on the technical success of the procedure but also on providing compassionate care throughout the entire surgical journey, from the initial consultation and pre-operative preparation to the post-operative recovery and discharge planning.
Our Core Mission:
Our mission at Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit is to deliver exceptional surgical outcomes for our patients while maintaining the utmost level of client communication and support. We pride ourselves on utilizing state-of-the-art surgical techniques and technology within our facility to ensure the best possible results for your pet's health and well-being.
Specialized Surgical Expertise:
While general veterinary practice forms the basis of many pet health needs, Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit focuses exclusively on the field of veterinary surgery. This specialization allows us to concentrate our resources, expertise, and attention on a wide range of surgical procedures that other general practices might refer out. Our team is proficient in various surgical disciplines, including:
Soft Tissue Surgery: This encompasses a broad spectrum of procedures, including but not limited to orthopedic surgeries (like fracture repair, cruciate ligament reconstruction, and elbow/hip dysplasia corrections), foreign body removal, tumor removals (excision biopsies), foreign body removal, dental surgeries (dental extractions), and internal medicine procedures requiring surgical access.
Foreign Body Removal: Accidental ingestion of inedible objects is common. Our facility is equipped to safely remove foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal tract and other internal organs using specialized techniques.
Tumor Removal: We offer surgical excision for benign and malignant tumors, often in collaboration with our pathology services for accurate diagnosis and staging.
Dental Extractions: Severe dental disease, broken teeth, or impacted teeth often necessitate surgical extraction, which requires specialized skills and equipment available at our facility.
Orthopedic Procedures: We address musculoskeletal issues ranging from trauma repair to congenital abnormalities and degenerative joint disease. Our goal is to restore function and alleviate pain.
Our Commitment to Safety and Care:
Safety is paramount in any surgical setting. At Dr. Kelly's, we employ meticulous surgical protocols, including thorough patient evaluation, comprehensive pre-operative diagnostics, and advanced anesthesia monitoring. Our team is trained in the latest techniques for patient stabilization and pain management, both before, during, and after surgery.
Our surgical suite is designed with the safety and comfort of your pet in mind. We utilize modern anesthesia machines, patient warming devices, and continuous monitoring equipment (electrocardiogram, respiratory rate monitoring, oxygen saturation, and temperature) to ensure your pet's vital signs are closely watched throughout the procedure.
Pre-operative Consultation and Preparation:
Your involvement is crucial in preparing your pet for surgery. During a pre-operative consultation, our team will discuss the proposed surgical procedure, answer your questions, explain the risks and benefits, and outline the recovery process. We will conduct a thorough physical examination and may recommend specific pre-operative blood work or imaging (X-rays) to ensure your pet is in the best possible condition for surgery.
Post-operative Care:
We are committed to providing clear post-operative instructions and follow-up care. After discharge, our team will provide you with detailed information regarding your pet's recovery, including medication administration, activity restriction, wound care (if applicable), and signs of potential complications to watch for. We may schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your pet's progress and remove sutures or staples, if necessary.
