Heights Veterinary Clinic utilizes both conventional and laser surgical capabilities within our veterinary hospital:

Surgery

Heights Veterinary Clinic practices safe surgical procedures while delivering precise and compassionate care. Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures. Our animal hospital knows that receiving surgery can be stressful, so our veterinarians prepare extensively to deliver a level of care that you can trust and depend on.

From Pre-op to Post-op, your furbaby is under the direct care of our surgery team.

Each pet undergoing an anesthetic procedure with Heights Veterinary Clinic is personally attended to by one of our skilled surgery technicians who monitors their vital signs with the latest equipment including pulse oximetry, ECG, blood pressure, temperature, and CO2 (just like you or I would receive).

We also utilize multiple pain control modalities including local numbing agents, injectable pain medications, and cold laser therapy to promote healing. You can rest assured that your pet will be kept as comfortable as possible while they recover.

Laser Surgery

Heights Veterinary Clinic is proud to be one of the only animal hospitals within the greater Houston area to possess surgical laser capability. By utilizing Laser Surgery, we are able to significantly reduce patient pain and discomfort during a wide variety of surgical procedures; including minor skin surgeries, routine cat declaw procedures, soft palate resections, and superficial mass removals.

Heights Veterinary Clinic is Proud to Offer Laser Therapy Treatment!

Our animal clinic is proud to offer our pets Laser Therapy, which is used to treat a variety of conditions and can be performed in conjunction with existing treatments.

How does it work?

Laser therapy stimulates the body to heal naturally from within. Non-thermal photons of light are administered to the body in 3-to-8 minute increments and are then absorbed by injured cells. The cells are then stimulated and respond with a higher rate of metabolism. This results in relief from pain, increased circulation, reduced inflammation, and an acceleration of the overall healing process. Your pet can immediately benefit from this innovative approach to treating pain. Both pets and veterinarians agree that Laser Therapy is the future of veterinary care!

Applications for Laser Therapy include:

  • Treatment of arthritis, degenerative joint disease, or hip dysplasia
  • General pain management (sprains, strains, and stiffness)
  • Post-surgery pain (spays, neuters, declaws, and other surgeries)
  • Skin problems (hot spots, lick granulomas, infections)
  • Dental procedures
  • Fractures and wounds (bites, abrasions, and lesions)
  • Ear infections

Our animal clinic’s Laser Therapy treatment is non-invasive, pain-free, drug-free, and does not require surgery!
