A few weeks ago I posted asking about ACL surgery for dogs. In The course of discussion Leshem surgical in Canton was recommended many times. Six weeks out and I can report that the healing is going well and I highly recommend Leshem. There were no surprises. It cost exactly what they said it would cost and Molly has healed at Exactly the rate they said. Of course, carrying a 70 pound labrador up three stories of stairs for the last six weeks has not been fun but apparently I've got in shape too. The lab was only six years old so the surgery or something I felt I had to do. I highly recommend Lehmen. Straight shooters with no nonsense, no sugarcoating. Just medical facts. I must say I was amazed the dog was walking the next day. The only challenge was keeping her calm for the 10 weeks of healing.
What only 5 stars? I'd give Leshem Veterinary Surgery more if I could. To learn that your furry best friend has a torn ACL and it's something that can only be remedied by surgery with an overnight hospital stay is a devastating situation to find yourself in, but Dr. Leshem and his team showed a dedication, love and professionalism that shined through every second. This was not assembly line medicine, but genuine care. A special thanks to Devan for going over everything with me and offering encouragement to me the day I picked up my Beau dog to bring him home. The follow up call 3 days later to see how my dog was doing was unexpected and much appreciated. Beau has a long way to go with daily recovery but his future looks optimistic now from where he was before I called Dr. Leshem. I'm so glad I made that call!
Dr Leshem is truly a master of his craft, very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. My 8 yr old dog was limping and it was determined that he suffered a significant CCL tear with possible meniscus issues. Dr Leshem performed an evaluation in January and was confident that with the surgery my dog would be running and hiking with me again by June. We elected to use Dr Leshem for the surgery and we are so glad we did. He repaired the full CCL tear and a portion of the meniscus. Although the mobility limitations and physical therapy were tough for both us and my dog, his surgery was a resounding success. We followed Dr Lesham's post op direction exactly as noted on the documents and I am sure this played a huge role in my dog's surgical success. He was able to go on long hikes at the end of June without any limping or noticeable mobility issue. In fact as of Aug he was also able to go on long runs (5 miles) at a 11 minute mile pace. I would recommend Dr Leshem and his team for anyone requiring surgical intervention on their dog.
