Jacksonville Veterinary Surgery and Orthopedics

We have a 7 year old, 58 lb rescue dog with a permanent injury to his back right leg. As expected, his good back leg finally gave out with a torn acl. We were very concerned that with his permanent injury, surgery would be a long shot — that concern was quickly diminished when we brought Hooch in for a consultation visit with Jacksonville Veterinary Surgery and Orthopedics. Dr. Neihaus instilled confidence that he does these surgeries often on dogs with similar scenarios to our Hooch — and that overall success depended on the post-op routine, which was clear and detailed. With the holidays approaching, we were facing several weeks before surgery would occur, but Dr. Neihaus was able to get Hooch in the next day and perform a successful surgery.

Best place ever! We are beyond grateful for the incredible care our dog received here. While we were out of town, our dog needed an emergency gallbladder removal, and the surgeon and entire veterinary team quite literally saved their life. From start to finish, their communication was outstanding—they kept us informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and treated our dog as if they were their own. Facing a medical emergency while being away is every pet owner’s worst nightmare, but this team gave us complete peace of mind through their compassion, skill, and professionalism. The surgeon’s expertise and calm confidence made all the difference, and the level of care our dog received was truly exceptional. We could not recommend a better place or a better surgeon to trust w

Wonderful experience for my standard poodle 🐩 who recieved her laparoscopic spay/gastropexy. Ramen Noodle the Poodle said the staff were kind and caring to her throughout the entire day and Dr Neihaus performed amazing surgery. Her recovery has been so much easier for us both thanks to the laparoscopic procedure and the doctors skill and efficiency. She also got a cute little recovery suit, in our favorite color, instead of a stupid "Cone of Shame". We both highly recommend them for all your specialty procedures!!

Great experience! My 7 year old beagle mix had a bilateral TPLO surgery here. Dr. Neihaus and the staff were fantastic. Our recovery went perfect and my pup has the most energy and mobility that he’s had in years. Truly the best experience we could’ve imagined!

Last May my 12 week old puppy had to have pins put in his leg . Dr. Neihaus did an amazing job! I went back once my boy was a year to see how everything healed . My pup was a show prospect so having a knowledgeable surgeon was so important . Tonic went on to finish his Championship pins and all . You’d never know he ever broke a leg looking at him today ! Thanks to the staff and Dr. Neihaus he was able to be a happy normal dog :)
