Nicolás Vecchio, DVM
Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Surgeons
Our surgeons have more than 30 years of combined experience in surgery. Our anesthetists have been practicing anesthesia in a referral only practice for more than a decade. They are proficient at anesthetizing and monitoring anything from pediatric to geriatric patients. Common monitoring equipment includes arterial catheterization for blood pressure and blood gas sampling, central venous pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, EKG, pulse oxymetry, expiratory capnography, core temperature, and cardiac output.
We perform many types of orthopedic, traumatologic, neurological, thoracic (including cardiovascular), abdominal, and reconstructive surgery. A wide variety of minimally invasive procedures are performed routinely. Some of these are diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy, thoracoscopy, and laparoscopy. Our surgical team is constituted by more than ten highly trained people. We perform emergency procedures 24 hours a day to maximize positive outcome and optimize patient care.
