Laser Surgery 
  Your Pet's health is as important to us as it is to you.
  We are pleased to offer laser surgery as an exciting new option
  for safe, comfortable treatment.  In many procedures, the laser
  can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional 
  surgery.

Why Laser Surgery?
 
  Less Pain - Laser energy seals nerve endings as it moves through tissue.
  Your pet feels less pain post-operatively.  
 
  Less Bleeding - The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery which
  allows your doctor to perform surgeries with extraordinary precision.  This
  also speeds some procedures reducing the need for anesthesia.

  Less Swelling- Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise because only
  a beam of intense light contacts the tissue.

What Does This Mean For My Pet?
 
  Reduced risk of infection - The laser sterilizes as it removes diseased tissue, 
  killing bacteria that cause infection. 

  Precision - The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse
  affects to healthy surrounding tissue. 

  Quick return to normal activities - Recovery is rapid and there is less post-
  operative discomfort.

What Types of Procedures Can A Laser Perform?

  A laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats, birds
  and other pets.  Laser surgery can correct many common conditions such as
  cysts, tumors, warts and infections, that may occur around the eyes, ears,
  in the mouth, and anywhere on the skin. Specialized internal procedures are
  also possible.  Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if your pet's procedure
  can be performed with a laser.  Spays, neuters, and declaws work great with the
  laser.

What Is A Laser?

  A laser is a device that generates an intense beam of light at a specific wavelength.

How Does A Laser Work?

  The way a particular laser works is determined by the specific wavelength of light
  that it produces.  For example, the most commonly used surgical laser is a CO2
  laser which produces an invisible beam of light that vaporizes the water normally
  found in the skin and other soft tissue.  Because your veterinarian can precisely
  control the laser, only a thin layer of tissue is removed, leaving the surrounding
  areas unaffected.
