The pursuit of excellence in all that we do is truly a rewarding aspect of our practice, and one which is dependent upon each employee’s contributions. The goal of BAVS is that our team of employees, partners in our success, vigorously uphold our mission statement for every case that enters the hospital. We believe our clients and their pets deserve this commitment and our referring veterinarians rely on it.
We are dedicated to practicing high-quality veterinary medicine, to providing unparalleled care to our patients, and to providing compassionate, attentive customer service to our clients.




An ACVS surgical specialist is a veterinarian who has advanced training in surgical procedures, which includes an internship and three-year residency program. In addition, a surgeon must conduct research which is accepted for publication in professional journals and pass an intensive board examination. Through required continuing education, a surgical specialist stays current with the most up-to-date veterinary surgical procedures.
As a result, a dedicated surgical specialist has access to equipment and knowledge of procedures not commonly available to most veterinary hospitals. This equipment and advanced training allow us to perform highly technical procedures as we supplement the care of referring veterinarians.
The goal of Bay Area Veterinary Surgery is to partner with your family veterinarian to provide the highest level of care for your pet. Our practice accepts cases which require specialized care or the option of advanced procedures by referral only.
If you feel your pet has a condition which may require specialized surgery, please contact your regular veterinarian for a diagnosis and referral.
