Surgical Services for Dogs and Cats in Walnut Creek
From a first spay or neuter to a complex orthopedic repair, surgery is a decision that asks a lot of pet families. Surgical services at Rossmoor Pet Hospital give Walnut Creek dogs and cats access to a full surgical suite, modern monitoring, and a board-certified surgeon who joins our team for advanced cases, all under one roof. The goal of every surgery here is the same: clear answers ahead of time, a safe day-of experience, and a recovery you can manage at home with confidence.
Spay and Neuter Surgery in Walnut Creek
Spay and neuter surgery is the most common procedure in veterinary medicine for good reason. It supports long-term health, reduces certain disease risks, and helps manage behaviors tied to reproductive hormones. Our veterinarians discuss the right age for your individual pet based on breed, size, and lifestyle, then schedule the surgery with full pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV fluids, modern anesthesia monitoring, and pain relief that continues at home.
Soft Tissue Surgery in Walnut Creek
Soft tissue surgery covers a wide range of procedures: mass removals, biopsies, foreign body removal, cystotomy for bladder stones, splenectomy, gastrotomy, and exploratory abdominal surgery. We also handle GDV care, eye and ear procedures, and skin and wound repair. Because we own the surgical suite and run our own anesthesia and monitoring, scheduling is flexible and we can usually move quickly when something is time-sensitive.
Orthopedic Surgery and TPLO in Walnut Creek
Orthopedic concerns like cruciate ligament tears, fractures, and luxating patellas need a surgical plan tailored to your dog's size, lifestyle, and weight. TPLO surgery (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is one of the most common orthopedic procedures performed for cranial cruciate ligament injuries in medium and large dogs.
Visiting Board-Certified Surgical Support
Rossmoor Pet Hospital is owned and led by Dr. Bikram Sohi, who has practiced veterinary medicine since 2002. For advanced orthopedic and complex soft tissue cases, our hospital partners with Dr. Hani Korani, BVSc, DACVS (SA), a board-certified small animal surgeon who joins our team on a mobile basis. The partnership lets families access specialty-level surgical care without leaving the East Bay or managing referrals across multiple clinics, with Dr. Sohi remaining the consistent primary contact for follow-up and recovery.
Tumor Removal, Mass Excision, and Biopsies
Most lumps and bumps are not aggressive, but the only way to know is to evaluate them. We perform mass removals and excisional biopsies for skin tumors, lipomas, and growths in deeper tissue, with histopathology to confirm what was found. When something needs urgent attention, our same-day care option allows for faster biopsies and decisions.
Anesthesia, Monitoring, and Recovery
Modern veterinary anesthesia is safer than it has ever been when patients are monitored properly. Every surgical patient at our Walnut Creek hospital is placed on IV fluids, intubated for inhaled anesthesia, and monitored continuously for heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen, body temperature, and end-tidal CO2. Our trained team stays with your pet through the entire surgery and recovery. We send every patient home with clear instructions, take-home pain management, and a direct line back to the team if anything feels off during recovery.
Planning a Surgery at Our Walnut Creek Hospital
Every surgery starts with a conversation. We will go over the procedure, the timeline, recovery expectations, and the costs ahead of the day, so there are no surprises. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is standard, and we will help you plan fasting, post-op activity restriction, and aftercare.
