Dr. Tatarniuk

Board-Certified Surgeon and Owner of Highline Veterinary Orthopedics 

When your pet has an injury that requires a complicated surgery, such as repairing a broken bone or torn cruciate ligament, pet owners are traditionally faced with the need of traveling distances to an outside referral clinic for specialized care. This is often associated with significant cost, overnight hospitalizations, and environments a pet may feel unfamiliar with. Or, owners may have to pursue non-surgical management or seek less specialized surgeries that have unpredictable outcomes. 

Collaborative care with your local veterinary clinic allows for specialized surgeries to be provided in the comfort of your local veterinary clinic, in collaboration with your regular veterinarian who knows your pet best. 

This service is an extension of your primary veterinary team who you know and trust.
