This was Annabelle's second TPLO surgery. Dr. Sebestyen did an amazing job on both surgeries. The staff is very caring, professional and responsive. We felt that Annabelle received the best possible care.

Stafff is amazing and Dr Keeshen has been fantastic. My dog Oliver needed ACL surgery. I researched Dr Keeshen and found he has impeccable credentials. He didn't disappoint. Thank you for working on my boy and helping to nurse him back to an active life.

My yelp review: I am SO grateful to VSSOC in Tustin, and especially to Dr. Thomas Keeshen, the exceptional surgeon who performed a bilateral anal sacculectomy on my doggy Zelda. From the very beginning, not only was Dr. Keeshen incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and honest, but he was also able to figure out what was actually wrong with Zelda. He took the time to understand Zelda's history, carefully explained our options, and never made me feel rushed into surgery. When I ultimately decided that surgery was the right choice for her, I felt completely confident putting Zelda in his hands. The surgery could not have gone better. Dr. Keeshen did an incredible job, and Zelda has recovered remarkably well. It's only been one week, and she's already feeling GREAT and is back to being her playful, joyful self! :-) I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Keeshen and the entire team at VSSOC for taking such wonderful care of Zelda and for being so kind and responsive throughout the entire process.

I can't remember her name but it was our nurse we saw on the consult. She took her time with my questions and getting to know our dogs background and history. She had a gorgeous tattoo of her cats as balloons! But truly we had a good experience with everyone we interacted with. Thank you, as this was a very stressful time for us!

Our 9-year-old husky, Homie, was diagnosed with an aggressive bone lesion in his left femur on a Friday and was in severe pain. VSS fit us in for a consult the next day and scheduled his amputation for that Tuesday. Dr. Sebestyen explained the plan clearly, examined his other leg to make sure he'd handle life on three legs, and gave us an estimate that held. [Homie was walking within a day of surgery and is now back to enjoying his walks.] The techs and front desk staff were kind and patient with us through a very hard week. Thank you to Dr. Sebestyen and the whole team for giving Homie his comfort back.

Amazing service and care. My 10 year old Siberian husky developed a cancerous lump on her upper left chest area and we were referred to VSS by our primary and couldn't have asked for a better care and detail throughout the whole entire surgery to recovery process. The nurses and doctors were so attentive and dr Walker was thourough in claiming my dogs exact case and outcome and couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Highly recommend
