The whole staff was super. They talked to you what the whole procedure  was going to be . The dr. Came out and explained  everything and the nurse called me about the updates. I was really  happy  with everything.

The staff was friendly. The doctor called the night before to go over surgery and answer any questions. They updated me on what was happening on surgery day. My dog wouldn't settle after surgery so they let her come home with me to get some sleep. When I picked her up, the staff wrote notes about my dog on the folder. Overall a great experience.

When our large dog suffered an unusual fracture of his L hind leg, we reached out to HRVSS to repair the leg. Upon examination, Dr.Baia discovered osteosarcoma in the leg.
He was very direct and to the point in delivering this news but did it as compassionately as he was able. He communicated the options well and reiterated them again just prior to surgery.
The staff at HRVSS were caring and respectful, with special thanks from us going out to Michelle. I believe you would be hard pressed to find a more caring and dedicated person to work with.
Anytime I had questions or concerns there was always timely communication which helped to ease a stressful situation.
The leg has healed quite well and allows our dog to get around normally.
If you follow the post-surgery directions provided by HRVSS, your dog's recovery will be successful.

Our experience with HRVSS has been truly amazing. They are so informative, respond to questions day and night and really look out for the best interest of your fur baby. Our Mazi girl (English Mastiff) had a torn ACL and needed surgery. They walked us through every step of the process, called, texted, checked in from the very beginning to the end of healing. They are an amazing team of professionals that made us feel like we were their only patient. You will not get better treatment anywhere else!

In September 2024 my 6 year old yellow Lab Marcus was diagnosed with a torn ACL. After Researching approximately 30 area surgical vets and reading their reviews I happened to across Dr. Zeltsman page and I was impressed by his outstanding reviews.  So I contacted Dr. Zeltzman and spoke with him personally several times before setting up an appointment for Marcus‘s TPLO surgery In October.  Dr. Zaltzman and his associate Dr. Baia did an outstanding job with my boy’s surgery.  It’s now February 4, months after Marcus‘s surgery and he’s fully healed and acting like his old self again.  I can’t say enough about the doctors and their concern staff as they help me through the surgery and the months of recovery afterwards.  Since Marcus had his surgery, I’ve had two friends ask me who did his surgery and if I would recommend them. I didn’t hesitate and  recommended HRVSS.
