greyhndz Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Can anyone recommend an excellent vet surgeon in southern NH/northern MA? A friend's dog was just diagnosed with osteo, has seen oncology and is looking for a good surgeon to perform the amputation. The best surgeon I know of, Dr. Wadsworth in Dover, NH, retired. She lives in Pelham, and is looking for someone closer than Angell or Tufts. Thanks muchly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytbookert Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 It might be a little further than your friend wants, but Northboro, MA VCA has a great surgeon... Dr. Dudley. I have many friends and a few adoption groups who use her and have been pleased. I wish your friend luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadyChester Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Dr. Dudley at VCA Northboro in MA is a board certified orthopedic surgeon (not tons of them around), and definitely worth the trip. She is excellent! She did my boy Stretch's surgical repair for his hock and you really can barely tell anything was ever wrong with it.

SPDoggie Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 We really liked Dr Karen Pastor at the Mass Vet Referral Hospital in Woburn, MA. The whole facility has always seemed top-notch to us the couple times we have been there. There web site is www.intownvet.com Quote Amy and Tim in Beverly, MA, with Chase and Always missing Kingsley (Drama King) and Ruby (KB's Bee Bopper).

Guest MorganKonaAlex Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 We were very happy with Dr. Kurt Schulz at Animal Medical Center of New England, Nashua, NH. link He did the amputations on both of our OSA boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is who GPA-CNH uses and they have been very happy with her work. Another GPA member just had her GH's leg amputated for osteo. She went to nevog in Waltham. The practice now has a satellite branch in Manchester. I'll email her for their phone numbers.

Guest Luvgreys Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Another vote here for Dr. Dudley , she and her vet techs are wonderful to work with. Dr. Dudley is extremely experienced with greyhounds and an excellen surgeon. She is also one of the most caring vets I have met. As long as she is available Dr. Dudley will always be my first choice for an ortho vet for my own dogs, even though she is over an hour drive from my house.

greyhndz Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks so much, everyone! I was going through the website listing board certified vet surgeons last night, and came upon Karen Pastor's name. Didn't Karen used to be down on the south shore? As I recall, she did a lot of work with GH adoption groups and had GHs of her own. I used to hear a lot of good things about her - didn't know she'd moved up north. I've heard good things about InTown also. It sounds like the consensus goes with Dr. Dudley - I'll call my friend now to pass all of this great info along. You guys rock!

Finnsliz Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dr Pastor is a good friend of my vet. She has seen my Finn on 2 occasions, luckily no surgery was required. I thought she was very informative and had a wonderful "bedside" manner.
