Precision care for what matters most – helping your pet live a longer and better life.
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. Ken Linde co-owned a mixed animal veterinary practice in British Columbia for 23 years, where he focused on small animal surgeries and dairy medicine. He decided to pursue advanced training in surgery because he feels the field provides him the opportunity to make an even more positive and often immediate difference in the well-being of an animal. His clinical interests include minimally invasive procedures, hepatobiliary surgery, adrenalectomy, intrathoracic surgeries and fracture repair.
Married with five grown children, Dr. Linde is now raising a German short-haired pointer. His other hobbies include windsurfing, kiteboarding and vintage motorcycles.
Dr. Alexandra Reist has extensive experience and training. She provides advanced surgical and medical options while keeping your pet’s best interest and well-being at the forefront. Dr. Reist performs a wide variety of soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, including:
Dr. Reist highly regards the patient-doctor relationship and aims to meet each client’s needs by providing a complete understanding of conditions and effective communication throughout the process. She works with clients to decide the best treatment plan for their pet while practicing the highest standard of surgical medicine.
Outside of work, Dr. Reist enjoys cycling, wine tasting and cheering (plus some yelling) for the Buffalo Bills. Most of all, she loves spending time with her spouse, raising their daughter and caring for two kooky dogs, Olive and Jacob.
