I
cannot
say
enough
good
things
about
Dr.
Farrell
and
the
team
at
Animal
Outpatient
Surgery
of
San
Diego
and
Blue
Sky
Veterinary.
I'm
so
grateful
that
the
amazing
(and
deserved)
reviews
here
allowed
me
to
find
them,
and
led
me
to
decide
to
go
with
them
for
my
beloved
dog
Honey's
successful
TPLO
surgery.
Honey
needed
surgery
after
a
full
rupture
of
her
CCL
-
the
canine
equivalent
of
the
ACL.
Since
this
is
a
specialized
surgery,
I
was
devastated
to
discover
that
my
trusted
vet
could
not
perform
it,
and
I
was
left
to
my
own
research
to
quickly
find
someone
I
could
trust
to
help
my
dog.
Let
me
start
by
saying
that
my
decision
to
with
Dr.
Farrell
and
the
team
at
Animal
Outpatient
had
NOTHING
to
do
with
the
incredible
price
they
offer.
Yes,
they
charge
far
less
than
the
big
hospitals,
but
what
is
more
important
to
me
is
the
care,
skill
and
value
that
they
deliver.
Honestly
for
me,
the
fact
that
so
many
of
the
reviews
here
were
about
how
much
less
they
charge
was
the
only
concern
for
me,
as
I
wasn't
looking
for
the
best
deal
possible,
I
was
looking
for
the
best
care
possible,
as
soon
as
possible,
and
the
best
outcome
possible.
Fortunately,
this
is
exactly
what
I
found.
I
was
relieved
when
I
contacted
them
and
they
could
get
her
in
for
surgery
far
faster
than
anyone
else
we
contacted.
This
was
key,
as
I
did
not
want
Honey
to
have
to
suffer
and
wait
longer
than
necessary
for
surgery
for
her
debilitating
injury,
and
I
suspected
that
the
longer
she
waited,
the
more
damage
she
could
do
to
her
knee.
When
I
called
to
schedule
her
surgery,
the
staff
was
kind,
caring
and
attentive
on
the
phone,
and
I
felt
hopeful
we
made
the
right
choice.
They
were
also
the
ONLY
clinic
I
called
who
actually
instructed
us
to
keep
Honey
resting
and
doing
as
little
as
possible
to
avoid
further
damage.
You'd
hope
that
this
kind
of
thing
would
be
standard
practice,
but
unfortunately,
with
big
hospitals
much
falls
through
the
cracks
and
the
result
can
be
disastrous.
After
this
first
scheduling
call,
I
felt
confident
we
had
made
the
right
choice.
When
we
met
Dr.
Farrell
at
the
consult
appointment,
my
confidence
that
we
had
made
the
right
choice
was
confirmed.
Dr
Farrell
was
kind,
caring,
and
obviously
a
master
of
his
field.
He
took
the
time
to
explain
everything,
which
is
important
to
me.
I'm
the
kind
of
person
who
does
a
lot
of
research
and
has
specific
questions,
and
it
is
important
to
me
that
any
doctor
I
choose
-
whether
for
people
or
pets
-
be
able
and
willing
to
answer
my
questions.
Dr.
Farrell
outperformed
my
hopes
and
expectations
in
his
ability
and
willingness
to
answer
my
questions.
If
you
have
a
smaller
dog
who
would
be
a
candidate
for
the
less-costly
surgery
alternative
to
the
TPLO,
Dr.
Farrell
will
go
over
the
pros
and
cons
of
each
surgery,
and
leave
the
decision
truly
up
to
you
(as
long
as
the
pre-op
x-rays
confirm
your
dog
is
physiologically
a
good
candidate
for
the
alternative).
Honey's
surgery
went
perfectly,
and
she
came
home
the
same
day.
Being
able
to
bring
her
home
the
same
day
rather
than
her
spending
the
night
in
the
hospital
was
another
important
factor
for
us.
Keep
in
mind
this
is
likely
one
of
the
ways
they
are
able
to
get
the
cost
down
-
by
not
forcing
unnecessary
treatments
that
incur
additional
expenses.
Honey
was
putting
weight
on
her
leg
within
a
day,
and
started
treating
it
like
a
normal
leg
very,
very
quickly.
At
the
8
week
follow
up,
she
was
fully
healed
and
ready
to
get
back
to
living
normal
life!
She
traveled
to
Europe
2
days
later,
and
has
already
been
enjoying
3-5
mile
hikes,
which
might
be
the
longest
she
has
ever
even
done!
(Maybe
because
she's
so
happy
to
be
enjoying
life
again!)
I
am
so
grateful
for
Dr.
Farrell,
the
team,
and
the
primary
surgeon
who
handled
the
TPLO
(Dr.
Farrell
assisted).
They
gave
Honey
her
life
back,
and
gave
me
my
sanity
through
the
process.
If
you
are
looking
for
the
best
possible
care
for
your
best
friend,
and
with
the
added
benefit
of
the
best
possible
price,
look
no
further
-
you
have
found
it
right
here.
