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. Krista Cioffi is passionate about orthopedic, neurologic, minimally invasive and soft tissue reconstructive surgeries. She has done over a thousand stifle arthroscopy and TPLO procedures, brought 3D custom angular limb corrections to the Portland area and is skilled in arthroscopic and laparoscopic procedures.
Dr. Cioffi loves to help one of her favorite places, the Oregon Zoo, by volunteering her time and skill set to perform surgeries on exotic species when they need a specialist. She is also in the Junior League of Portland, where she volunteers in the greater Portland area.
Outside of work and volunteering, Dr. Cioffi enjoys traveling and exploring new places. She is passionate about learning, especially when it comes to history, science and cooking. She enjoys taking casual strolls with her dogs, delights in trying tasty restaurant experiences (her favorite being Italian) and loves snuggling up with an addicting book series.
Dr. Cioffi is happy to be a surgeon and looks forward to helping you and your pet.
Dr. John Kiefer’s primary interest is in orthopedics, including fracture repair, angular limb deformity correction, tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) and total hip replacement.
Dr. Kiefer enjoys traveling and spending time with Mstislav, his Russian Wolfhound.
