Advanced veterinary expertise and precision care you can trust.
We understand that seeing your pet experience an emergency or condition that requires surgery can be stressful. Fortunately, our veterinary surgery team is made up of experts in performing complex procedures using the latest state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, and we’re here to help.
Our commitment is not just to delivering highly advanced surgical care; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
If your pet has a condition or injury that requires advanced care and procedures, you’ll have an entire surgery team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our surgery team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our surgery team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Laura Barbur grew up surrounded by farm animals in rural Kansas, which is where her passion for the well-being of animals began. During her veterinary education at Kansas State University, she assisted with research in various areas, such as canine and feline kidney disease and canine thoracic surgery. It wasn’t long into veterinary school that she realized her biggest passion was small animal surgery.
After graduating from veterinary school, Dr. Barbur had the pleasure of living in and serving the communities of Atlanta and Washington D.C. Throughout her career as a small animal surgeon, Dr. Barbur has continued to be involved in various research projects while also having the honor of training several surgical interns.
Dr. Barbur’s special interests include:
When she is not at work, Dr. Barbur enjoys spending time with her beagle, Pixel, and her Ragdoll cat, Beaker. She also enjoys cooking, hiking, exploring museums and traveling.
