Gadd's Animal Doctors of Gray

Now Offering Laser Surgery!

Introduction to Laser Surgery

Laser surgery is one of the most important advances in veterinary surgical procedures for many years. Essentially the surgery is performed using a laser beam to dissect tissue rather than a conventional scalpel. 

Laser equipment has been used several years in human medicine as they are very accurate. Lasers have recently moved into veterinary medicine, and we are happy to be one of the first practices in Middle Georgia to offer Laser Surgery to our clients.
