My cat had luxating patella surgery here. The staff are so kind, helpful and communicate well. I knew right away that my cat was in good hands. I absolutely recommend the clinic. When I adopted my cat, she already had the issue with her leg so I don't know how long it was injured. We just hit 3 months out from the surgery and her limp is gone and she is jumping up to new heights that she has never done before. It is great to see that she has recovered and is moving so much better.

Our vet referred us to Bridgeway Veterinary Specialists for my dog’s luxating patellas and I am so grateful that they did. We brought our little maltipoo here for his bilateral patellar luxation surgery and Dr. Smith did an excellent job. Dr. Smith and team were extremely helpful and compassionate throughout the whole process. They were always available for any questions or concerns I had, from the pre-op consultation all the way to the post-op recovery process. The team thoroughly communicated with me and kept me updated during and after the surgery. The technicians checked in with us on the night of surgery after we took him home and were there to help us get through the night with more ease. Thanks to the team’s high level of expertise and care, Louis is recovering very well. Thank you again Dr. Smith and Bridgeway Team for taking such good care of Louis! 🤍

We can't say enough about the excellent experience and care we had bringing Aspen to Bridgeway for her TPLO. Every person we interacted with was incredible - Veronica, Madison, Kazuko, Kalaya and of course Dr. Bhandal, and we know there are others who cared for our doodle behind the scenes. The information we were given was thorough and (very!) accurate, and our questions were answered with kindness. Aspen is back to her bouncy self, loving her forest walks and we are so thankful.

From the moment we walked into the clinic with our German Shepherd, the experience was incredible. Hannah at reception made everything smooth and professional and we were brought into a room almost immediately. Kazuko came in to check vitals and our girl Freya fell in love with her right away. My wife and I felt calm the second they started working with her and we knew we were in the right place. Dr. Smith evaluated Freya with so much knowledge and care. He was thorough, patient, and made us feel like our dog was truly being looked after. We now have a clear plan for how to help her and it finally feels like we can do something meaningful for our girl. I genuinely can’t say enough good things about this clinic. The team is outstanding and the doctors truly care and are outstanding.

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Mark Smith for the compassion and integrity he showed while caring for our dog, Ehm, who had known kidney disease. On the day of her surgery, after she was already prepped on the table, he made the difficult but thoughtful decision to cancel the procedure once he reassessed her condition. It was clear he cared more about her comfort and well-being than going through with the operation. Because of that decision, we were given two more weeks with her that would have otherwise been much harder for her to endure. His careful judgment, honesty, and compassion showed us he is a veterinarian we could fully trust.
