Austin Veterinary Surgical Center

Dr. Hennig and his staff (Megan, Diane and Mark) are awesome! We felt comfortable bringing our dog here for surgery and her follow-​up appointment was very thorough. If your dog needs surgery, and I hope not, you can’t go wrong bringing your pet here. Dr. Hennig took the time to explain our dog’s knee injury, and even drew on a white board to illustrate what her knee bone should look like and what it currently looks like. Then, he carefully explained how he was going to repair her knee. We really appreciate the consideration the doctor demonstrated before and after the surgery. Thank you Dr. Hennig and staff!

My border collie/​Australian shepherd mix is insane. After years of sprinting for tennis balls, wrestling with my other dog, chasing squirrels, running with me, and generally being bananas whenever he is out of his crate he started to walk with a serious limp. I took him to my regular vet who diagnosed him as having a cartilage tear. They referred me to Dr. Dudley and Austin Veterinary Surgical Center and come to find out he had a torn ACL. Dr. Dudley was honest and to the point recommending an immediate surgery. After the surgery Dr. Dudley gave me his home and cell phone number in case of an emergency. With my dog of course there was an immediate emergency as he pulled out his stitches within two days of being home. They fixed the stitches without question. Lucky me, my dog was part of the fifteen percent that tear cartilage after the surgery. Stressed, broke, and not knowing what to do I called the doctor again. To my surprise he is now doing the cartilage removal on a pay as you can schedule. It’s really rare that you meet someone as honest as sincerely dedicated to their profession as Dr. Dudley. In addition the physical therapy offered in their office is fantastic. My only complaint is how narrow the waiting room is, making it a very high possibility of a dog fight.
