Jacksonville Veterinary Surgery and Orthopedics

Dr. Neihaus quite literally saved my dog Deja’s life, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Deja came to me after being surrendered, and she had already undergone a foreign body surgery by another veterinarian that unfortunately failed. Dr. Neihaus stepped in and took on a very complex case. He performed a second surgery, carefully resected the damaged portion of her intestines, and successfully corrected what had gone wrong. His skill, knowledge, and attention to detail are exceptional. Just as importantly, he showed genuine care and compassion throughout the entire process. I trust Dr. Neihaus with all of my animals without hesitation. I am beyond grateful for what he did for Deja and for giving her a second chance at life. Thank you also to the exceptional team that helped with her care and the very friendly receptionists.

Jax Vet Surgery and Orthopedics was phenomenal. They were recommended by my regular vet after my pup tore her ACL. They performed the TLO surgery and the whole process was very thorough and made me feel a lot less anxious. They do a bunch of these surgeries each week so they’ve got it down to a science. They give very detailed information about how to help your dog through recovery and rebuilding the muscle, and they check in often to make sure your pup is doing well and are available for any questions you have. Full disclosure, the surgery cost roughly $4800 so it’s not cheap to get it done, but we do what is necessary for our pups. Thanks to the whole staff at Jax Vet Surgery and Ortho, you guys were great!

The whole team from front desk to the back did amazing with my fur baby Dakota on her ACL surgery they really care and we had a little scare 3 weeks after surgery and I called crying because she jump trying to get dogs that was coming at her I was scared my baby messed something up and they did a great job talking me down and getting her in to check it out the next day there all amazing there and Dakota is all healed up now and you can’t even tell that she even had surgery. Scar looked amazing and everything. She is back to her self running and playing they were the best. Thank you so much!!!!

We have a 7 year old, 58 lb rescue dog with a permanent injury to his back right leg. As expected, his good back leg finally gave out with a torn acl. We were very concerned that with his permanent injury, surgery would be a long shot — that concern was quickly diminished when we brought Hooch in for a consultation visit with Jacksonville Veterinary Surgery and Orthopedics. Dr. Neihaus instilled confidence that he does these surgeries often on dogs with similar scenarios to our Hooch — and that overall success depended on the post-op routine, which was clear and detailed. With the holidays approaching, we were facing several weeks before surgery would occur, but Dr. Neihaus was able to get Hooch in the next day and perform a successful surgery. We followed the rehab regiment to the T and just got a successful 6-week check up. Hooch is healing well and close to being back to his normal routine. We went in fearing the worst, and left with confidence in this team and the care they provided. We highly recommend this team if you have concerns about your pet! Thanks to them, we have several more solid years with our Hooch!
