Veterinary Specialty Surgery (MOVES)
At Tender Care Veterinary Center, our Mobile Veterinary Specialist (MOVES) Surgery service provides advanced surgical care for your pet—right here, without the need to travel to a distant specialty hospital.
We partner with Dr. Swiderski, DVM, MS, DACVS (SA) our MOVES Veterinary Surgery partner to combine state-of-the-art surgical expertise with a compassionate, collaborative approach to ensure your pet receives the highest level of care in a familiar and comfortable setting.
What Is Veterinary Specialty Surgery?
Veterinary specialty surgery focuses on complex and advanced procedures that go beyond routine operations. These surgeries often require specialized training, advanced equipment, and detailed perioperative care.
Through our MOVES Surgery service, we bring this expertise directly to Tender Care Veterinary Center, allowing pets to receive high-level surgical care close to home.
Procedures We Commonly Perform
Our surgical specialist performs a wide range of advanced procedures, including:
- Soft tissue surgery (mass removals, abdominal surgery)
- Gastrointestinal surgery (foreign body removal, biopsies)
- Splenectomy and liver surgery
- Urinary tract surgery (bladder stones, cystotomy)
- Wound reconstruction and skin flaps
- Oncologic (cancer) surgery
- Orthopedic procedures to include TPLO and MPL surgeries
If your pet requires a more advanced or delicate procedure, our MOVES Surgery service ensures they receive expert care without unnecessary delays.
Advanced Surgical Care
We are equipped to provide a high level of surgical precision and safety, including:
- Advanced anesthesia monitoring
- Dedicated surgical support team
- Modern sterile surgical techniques
- Pain management protocols tailored to each patient
- Careful pre- and post-operative planning
Our focus is not only on successful surgery—but also on a smooth, safe recovery.
A Team-Based Approach
Surgical success doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s the result of collaboration.
Our MOVES surgical specialist works closely with:
- Your primary care veterinarian at Tender Care Veterinary Center or another referring hospital
- Our in-house medical team
- You, as your pet’s caregiver
Together, we ensure continuity of care from diagnosis through recovery.
