About Us

Precision Veterinary Surgery

Precision Veterinary Surgery is a comprehensive veterinary surgery service that was established in order to deliver board-certified surgical care and expertise directly to your primary care veterinarian’s office. Dr. Barry Brower, a board-certified veterinary surgeon, and his team are committed to employing the latest techniques and procedures in veterinary surgery, ensuring that our patients receive both cutting-edge and personalized care.

As a board-certified veterinary surgeon, Dr. Brower has undergone additional training after veterinary school in order to become a specialist. This training consists of a minimum 1-year internship followed by a 3-year residency program that meets guidelines established by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS). During the residency there are specific training and caseload requirements that must be met. In addition to these requirements, applicants must perform research that is published in a scientific journal and then pass a rigorous examination. Specialists are called a “Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons” or a “board-certified surgeon.” All veterinarians may perform surgery as part of their veterinary practice. However, difficult cases may be best managed by a specialist. Board-certified surgeons work closely with the owner and the primary veterinarian before and after surgery in a team approach to ensure continuity of care for your animal.

One of the guiding principles of Precision Veterinary Surgery is communication. As loved members of the family, we understand the stress and anxiety that occurs when our pets become sick or injured and require surgery. It is our goal and expectation to alleviate this stress as much as possible through clear and direct communication, both before and after surgery. As part of Dr. Brower’s evaluation, he will go through the diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and recommendations, as well as answer any and all questions you may have. This is a critical part of the process that allows you to be comfortable and confident in making an informed decision for your pet. We’re pleased to offer consultation visits at your doctor’s office prior to surgery. For your convenience, we can also arrange phone consultations to fit busy schedules. This allows you to address any pressing questions in advance, helping to reduce some of the stress associated with surgery.
