I highly recommend Dr. Crouch and Western Carolina Veterinary Surgery. In September 2025, he did a TPLO surgery on my 1 1/2 year old golden retriever who had a 90% CCL tear in her left knee.

Dr. Crouch recently performed TPLO surgery on my dog and while we're still in the recovery process (2nd/final phase), I am very pleased with the results.
