Testimonials.

Thank you simply isn’t a big enough work to express how truly grateful we are for everything you’ve done for Rusty. To see him moving the way a 2 year old should move – without pain – feels like a miracle. From the initial diagnosis, to surgery, to recovery and physical therapy, your entire team took amazing care of Rusty (and of his mommy). I know you will understand when I say I hope I never have to see you again, but I will always be grateful for your skill and compassion. Thank you again!

Chewy had a great summer and has been loving the cooler fall weather. His new hip has him in good spirits and having fun chasing a ball or two.

Dr. David Hummell and staff go beyond to make your pet feel loved. Our dog Zoe had ACL and MCL surgery at Skylos and we highly recommend going there to get treated. The staff is awesome and very attentive. Zoe is doing great and is a very happy dog.
