Services
Orthopedic Surgeries
We specialize in advanced orthopedic procedures including fracture repair, TPLO, and joint surgeries. Our surgeons use cutting-edge techniques to restore mobility and alleviate pain in pets. Patients receive post-operative supplements, cold laser therapy, and rehabilitation guidance to ensure full recovery.
Cold Laser Therapy
Our Class IV cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates healing after surgery. This non-invasive treatment uses infrared light to stimulate cellular repair, decreasing recovery time and improving comfort for pets undergoing orthopedic or soft tissue procedures.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses a pet's own blood to create healing injections. We centrifuge blood samples to concentrate platelets, which release growth factors that repair tendons, ligaments, and joints safely and effectively.
Torigen Cancer Treatment
Torigen vaccines use tumor antigens to stimulate immune responses against cancer. We process tissue samples to create personalized treatments that improve quality of life and outcomes for pets battling various cancer types.
Soft Tissue Surgeries
We perform abdominal, ophthalmic, and reconstructive soft tissue procedures with expertise. From mass removals to complex organ repairs, our surgeons prioritize minimal invasiveness and comprehensive post-operative care for optimal patient outcomes.

Simon Veterinary Surgical has given my family so much to be thankful for! We are so lucky to have found a vet that cares about our fur babies just as much as we do. The staff is so friendly, responsive and helpful. I had so much stress bringing my pup in, but they were able to give me many details that thoroughly explained how they could help us best, I left there with a peace of mind knowing my baby was in great hands. I'd like to personally thank Nathan for going above and beyond, answering all the questions and constant phone calls! You have really made this experience so great for us! You guys are heroes!

My pup Oliver broke his leg and I was frantic. I immediately started searching for surgical specialists for him. I encountered a doctor that wanted to do a surgery procedure that is rarely used now or doctors that quoted me prices near $7k. It is by the grace of goodness, that I happened to find google reviews on Dr. Simon. After looking at her website, I was shocked that she offered one of the best surgical procedures (TPLO) for an all inclusive price that provided supplements, cold laser therapy and more.
After speaking to Nathan, her practice manager, choosing Dr. Simon was a no-brainer. All of the staff were kind, supportive and helpful to me. I am truly grateful to Dr. Simon and her staff for helping my pup Oliver return to a life of joyful play and health.

My 10 year old Boxer "Joe Joe" is my son. My four legged son. He developed a tumor on his chest that ruptured. I was beside myself. It was bleeding and got infected. I called SVS and spoke with Nathan who is just downright AMAZING! He scheduled Joe Joe for surgery to have it removed. The day of surgery they just were so compassionate and wonderful. They have me my baby back. I could not be happier with the results. From beginning to end SVS is phenomenal and I want to thank Dr. Simon and Nathan and the whole staff from the bottom of my heart. You guys ROCK!

6 May 2021 - If you need a TPLO for your Pup. STOP! Look no further! I did not initially call SVS because they did not have any reviews on Google or Yelp. That was a HUGE MISTAKE! So let me be the 1st. For those that want to get to they point. Conclusion: They were responsive, quick, efficient, reasonably priced, had excellent customer service and did not require a host of unnecessary steps and routines that would require extra time, money, stress and most importantly pain to my dog.
Back story: I am not from LA. I relocated here for work a year ago! So that probably made this whole process a little harder by not already having a pet care network established. Short story: Dog started limping. After a bad ER experience and being told to wait "Its probably just a sprain or soft tissue injury." (Wrote a review!) Found a local vet that could fit us in when Pup started getting worse.
They were also great! Dr. G and The Melrose Vet! Review to come. Dr. G. gave us a reasonable diagnosis based on the exam and X-rays. So I spent the next 3 days calling, almost every Vet from San Diego to Bakersfield that mentioned Orthopedic surgery and had over 4 stars on Google. Most wanted $50-350 for an additional consult and x-rays despite us just having them done at The Melrose Vet, a day or two prior.
A lot would not give me a price range until I did the consult and the quotes I was able to obtain ranged from $2,400 to $9,000 with varying degrees of pre and post Op care included. The time frames to see us ranged from 4 days to 2 months with surgery being scheduled after the initial consult. SVS got us in the next day (there was a cancellation so not sure if this is always a reasonable turn around).
I was told the Vet would review the previous record since they were only a few days old. Exam Pup, if she agreed with the previous diagnosis after her review of the chart and examination she would commence with the surgery. Pup would get released the same day. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! Pup got dropped off around 8.30am she did a quick exam came to the same conclusion as Dr. G. Reassured me that it was just the one knee (pup started limping on the opposite leg the day prior). Pup was ready for pick up by 1.30pm.
With all her meds, supplements and collar in a cute little tote. To Come: I will update this with the Follow up experience but this alone made my day! I have been stressed watchin my pup get worse and fearing it would cost me 5K or more and NUMEROUS trips to the vet to get her right did not help! Thank you Dr. Simon and the Vet Staff you made my 2021. I will never forget the service and care you provided.

First things first I want to thank Dr. Simon for not giving up on our dog and finding out what was wrong with her. Dr. Simon was patient and willing to go the extra mile on finding out what was wrong with Sophie, an American pit bull terrier. She realized Sophie had Rickets disease which is why she couldn't stand on her own or even do any movements what so ever. Before going to Dr. Simon we had gone to other veterinary clinics and none of them could give us a proper diagnosis.
In fact, a veterinarian even told me we had to amputate both her back legs because her nerves weren't working that she had no feeling on both of them or to put her down. These claims were incorrect and it was upsetting that we're paying to hear him say something so ridiculous because she felt her legs and could move them, she just couldn't stand on them. That made NO SENSE and how can he just recommend putting a dog down when he was unsure of what the problem was.
Me and my husband knew that we had to keep looking and we got so lucky in finding Dr. Simon. It was so difficult seeing Sophie lay on her bed seeing her eyes go side to side wanting to run around and play like any pup her age. She would want to get up to pee or poop but couldn't which made it very difficult for us because we would see her efforts in trying to at least stand up. In one of those efforts made she managed to stand but quickly fell and fractured her legs.
This is when we found Dr. Simon she gave us an understanding of what possible diagnosis Sophie may have and worked with us in trying to run appropriate test. She needed surgery to her back legs to start for the fractures during this Dr. Simon realized that Sophie had Rickets disease. It an unusual disease that made her bones extremely weak. This is why Sophie couldn't stand but still had movement and feeling on them.
She's an angel because she took Sophie in as she began treatment. She went beyond expectations in caring for Sophie as she had her in her custody just during the time of her treatment to make sure it was working. As soon as Sophie had progressed enough to where she.can stand on her own for a majority of the time we regained custody of her. Even now Dr. Simon still checks in on us to see how Sophie is doing.
She cares about Sophie which shows how much she cares about others as she always does everything she can. Now Sophie of 11 months if running around the house, playing fetch at the park and to think that that she couldn't even stand up is mind blowing. If anyone wants someone cares who about their furry friend Dr. Simon is the way to go. Nothing but positive results!

Took my 11 year old husky in for his second tplo 2 months after the first and the team there was very kind and provided great information and supplements for the healing process. The free check ups included in the surgery price were nice to make sure my concerns were heard. Overall great experience even though handling a dog with two bad legs was rough he now can walk again.

"Nate the Great" and team took such good care of our medical foster dog, who had double hip surgery and a bullet removed, which was lodged in her femur. They treated her as if she were a celeb from Bel Air staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel! They not only executed a flawless surgery (doing two doggie hips at once is very challenging and taxing on everyone!), but the aftercare has been superb. Communication with the team is always prompt, courteous, and packed with info on how to best support our rescue.
Their website features professional videos on exercises/therapy for once your dog is home so you can easily refer to them to ensure nothing is missed. I can't say enough about the top notch service and care they gave us and our new family member. Would not hesitate to take her, or any dog, here again. The outstanding care they provided has helped make her the happy, joyful, and trusting dog she is today. Gratitude! *Chef's kiss*

Dr. Simon and her staff are all so kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. We went for a consultation and x-ray and were given a very thorough and honest explanation and recommendation for surgery, and were able to come for that the very next day. After the surgery we were given a lot of aftercare support and scheduled for rechecks as needed. My dog Goose is still in the healing process but I couldn't be happier with our experience so far. Highly, highly recommend.
