Veterinary Surgical Referral Practice

I was referred to VSRP after finding a tumor on my little buddy’s thyroid. Statistically, finding a tumor in this location on a dog, the odds aren’t very good. My family vet said it was out of his league and referred me to NC State Vet School. Their wait time for just an initial visit was far too long and so I did my own research and came across VSRP. Dr. Clark was able to see me and my pup right away. His calm demeanor and the friendly staff gave me great confidence in my choice to have Buddy’s tumor removed. The surgery was scheduled for the week following our initial visit and it went fantastic. I really can’t say thank you enough to Dr. Clark and the rest of the VSRP staff. Buddy has been healing nicely and we haven’t had any issues. Turns out I made the right decision regarding surgery as his tumor was carcinoma in nature and hadn’t yet had a chance to spread. Dr. Clark called me personally on a couple of different occasions to update me on Buddy. I can’t imagine how many people and dogs he must meet each week, but I can tell you that he made me feel like Buddy and I were the only ones. I would recommend this practice and Dr Clark to anyone who is facing tough decisions with their pets. So grateful to have found them. Best of the best!

I can’t say anything other than amazing. Dr Keller called after post op just to see how my dog was doing. Amazing, caring professionals. I can’t thank them enough. Dropping off my dog for surgery was heartbreaking, but they truly made me feel like it was going to be ok. Thank you vsrp

My dog MacKenzie and I were referred to VSRP by Dr. Shults at Veterinary Rehabilitation and Pain Management Hospital.
Dr. Gallagher performed a procedure on Kenzie’s knee that would help her avoid surgery. He did not pressure us into doing surgery and took the time to explain our options so we could make an educated decision. We chose to do an ACP treatment for MacKenzie. This involves drawing a sample of MacKenzie’s blood, putting it in a centrifuge to separate the cells from the plasma, and using the plasma to inject into her knee joint. The plasma is rich in platelets which help the ligament heal. Sounds weird, but it worked! MacKenzie is doing great!
All of the staff at both practices were very knowledgable, friendly, and enthusiastic. Highly recommend them both.

They actually responded to us on ¹¹⁄₁₁ @ 5:18 PM. This was most likely because we posted a negative complaint on their Facebook site which they removed. They seem to go through the lip service but they fail to act after that. They never called or took the time to follow up which is a custom service issue. This is exactly what we are talking about. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

I was referred to VSRP when I got the devastating news that my dog had torn his ACL. When I began the search for a veterinary surgeon, VSRP came highly recommended by a friend of a friend whose dog had been treated by Dr Gallagher.
I am so glad I took my little guy to VSRP. I was able to meet with the Dr Clark who would perform the surgery. This was really important to me because I had a lot of questions. This was not an option at my regular vet as they used a mobile vet for their surgery cases. And I was not okay with handing my dog over to someone I would never get to meet for a surgery like this. Dr Clark was great about explaining all the risks, the surgery and answering all of my questions. I didn’t feel rushed or like I was taking up his time.
The surgery went very well and my dog is recovering well. The cost of the surgery was comparable to other vets I had researched. Plus I like that all the vets at VSRP are board certified.
And lastly, the front office staff are wonderful! They really understand crazy dog moms like me.

My dog, Sammy, recently had doggie knee surgery at VSRP. Everyone there was so kind and helpful. A week before the surgery they sent me a detailed email telling me exactly what I needed to do to have my Sammy ready to go. I knew when to bring him in, what food he would need and what I needed to do the day of to make his procedure go on time and smoothly. They were kind to him and very patient with me. He is recovering beautifully and my family is grateful to Dr. Gallagher and his staff.

The warm, professional staff helped me through the emotional roller coaster that followed the diagnosis of bone cancer in my 12 year old dear companion, Bowser. Dr. Gallagher to a great deal of time discussing options and answering my countless questions, and the tech (I believe her name was Melanie) took such good care of my sweetheart that he didn’t want to leave her!
Bowser had is leg amputated and I was totally amazed by both his quick recovery and the excellent care he received. I was given a calender with each medication/​dosage and specific instructions following his surgery… in my opinion an excellent idea because who is really capable of listening to the overwhelming discharge instructions and retaining all the info?
Definitely recommend VSRP to other furry families!
