CARE Animal Surgery Center

Dr Keats, the techs and other staff were amazing when our pup needed surgery. During the initial consultation, Dr Keats was very thorough, reassuring and compassionate. He quickly gained our trust with his knowledge and answered all our questions before we left. The day of surgery we were kept informed of progress and sent photos. Post surgery, the staff was available to answer questions and make sure we were comfortable with how are pup was recovering. CARE is the best!

Absolutely the best experience for me and my pup, Zoe. Dr. Seth Bleakley and his team were superb. They addressed all my concerns about having a 6.5 lb. Silky Terrier spayed at 8 years old and the procedure went smoothly as I waited in the exam room. I highly recommend this vet surgical center.

My dog’s surgery was today so this review is limited to pre-surgery and the surgery day. From my initial telephone inquiry to my consult to the surgery - I have been blown away by the professionalism, communication, compassion, and care. Obviously I wasn’t looking forward to my dog’s surgery (in large part because of the cost and being worried for my pup) - but I had complete confidence and trust in the entire team. They made a challenging experience much easier and I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again. 10/10 no notes.

I am so grateful for Dr. Samantha Parkinson, Dr. Seth Bleakley, and the entire staff at CARE Surgery Center for how they cared for my dog, Louie. Everyone was incredibly kind, thorough, and went above and beyond to ensure he received the best possible treatment while under their care. I would recommend CARE Surgery Center to anyone. Thank you!!

We were referred to CARE by our primary vet, as our 10 month old puppy required a surgery that otherwise would be very invasive if not done laparoscopically. Dr. Bleakly was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The entire staff was so friendly, professional, and we trusted that our fur baby was in great hands. The surgery went great and our pup is now one week out and has recovered very well. I am so glad that we found CARE - highly recommend!

I am very impressed with the exceptional care my dog Roxy received. Everyone at Care Surgery Center showed outstanding compassion and went above and beyond. I was frequently updated on her condition during and after surgery. Dr. Keats his tech Sean and the entire staff couldn’t have treated us better. I am truly grateful for their kindness and expertise.

I can’t say enough good things about Care Surgery Center. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease—the front desk area was adorable, like stepping into Pottery Barn, complete with cozy candle scents. Natalie and Melissa at the front desk were amazing—quick, responsive, and so warm. They greeted me by name, already had my room reserved, and even noted my pet’s name, which made the whole experience feel so personal. My initial consultation was incredibly informative and well worth the exam fee. Hector listened to all my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and was so relatable and sweet with my dog, Vegas. Dr. Keats went above and beyond—he gave me a clear, detailed breakdown of every step of Vegas’s upcoming surgery, explaining why each procedure was important and how it would prevent future complications common with French Bulldogs. As surgery day approached, my anxiety grew, especially given the anesthesia risks with Frenchies. Natalie and Melissa patiently addressed my concerns, consulted with the doctor, and reassured me with testing and preparation. On the day of surgery, I was so emotional I couldn’t stop crying. They never once made me feel silly—instead, they encouraged me to call or text anytime and promised updates when Vegas went under anesthesia and when surgery was complete. Sean, the veterinary technician, was a lifesaver. Not only did he treat Vegas like his own, but he reassured me every step of the way. Bonus—he looked like he could be straight out of the band Tool, which made me laugh in a moment I desperately needed it. He personally promised to be there for Vegas’s entire procedure, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dr. Bleakley, who specializes in cherry eye, performed all of Vegas’s surgeries. Afterward, he personally called me, explained everything in detail, and even shared that they had also removed Vegas’s tonsils to improve his breathing. Vegas underwent multiple procedures in one day, including: Cherry eye correction Soft palate surgery Nare (nostril) widening Tonsil removal The results are amazing. Vegas not only looks great but can finally breathe so much easier. His quality of life has already improved, and I know I’ll have more precious time with him because of the care and expertise of this team. I also really appreciated that they offered Cherry financing as an alternative payment option, with 0% APR for up to a year—a huge help when facing a major surgery bill. PSA: I did quite a bit of cost shopping before choosing Care Surgery Center. They are not the cheapest option, but they are by far the most experienced with the French Bulldog breed. With Frenchies, you get what you pay for—and experience matters. If you can’t afford top-quality care, you probably shouldn’t have a Frenchie, because their health requires specialized, expert veterinary attention. See my below and after pics!
