Referrals

surgical procedures and investigations

For referring veterinarians

 

We provide a range of soft tissue and orthopaedic surgical procedures as well as investigations on a referral basis. As a certificate holder in small animal surgery since 1998, Joshua Rusnak has both the training and experience to offer clients a wide range of surgical and minimal access investigations and therapeutic procedures. The surgery is conveniently located in North West London and is extremely well equipped.

 

We can provide other vets and their clients with a local, hassle-free, cost-effective service. This can be of particular use for clients who are uninsured or who have limited insurance, or those who simply do not wish to travel far from home for their pet’s referral level care.

​

We aim to offer your clients a comprehensive range of minimally invasive investigations, biopsies and where desirable, definitive treatment. Services offered include:
