Vantage Veterinary Surgery

Doctor Monaco is amazing!!! My cat needed a cat scan. He sat in the room with me before dropping Figaro off. He answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable leaving him behind. He spoke to me on a level that I understood and he was so compassionate when he called with the results. His staff was great as well. 10 Stars!

Vantage has meant so much to our family. Chevy is our runner, and it was heartbreaking seeing him down and in pain. The care here has been consistent, thoughtful, and thorough! They walked us through his surgery & recovery in a way that felt clear and reassuring, they were on top of follow-ups and concerns. Chevy now has permanent screws supporting his ankle, we’re so grateful for the skill and attention that went into his procedure and aftercare. Also, when we needed a follow-up urgently, they got us right in. Vantage has helped us with the next steps by giving great referrals for a custom brace and starting the physical therapy route. We’re thankful for everything they’ve done, and looking forward to getting Chevy running like a Chevy again!

I recently brought my seven-pound dog to Dr. Monaco for surgery to treat ovarian remnant syndrome As a clinician, I came in with a lot of detailed questions and concerns, especially regarding anesthesia, hypothermia, and hypoglycemia risks in a small dog. I know I was probably a bit of a “pain” with how many questions I asked, but Dr. Monaco was straightforward and clear throughout the process. Most importantly, the surgery went extremely well, and my dog is now doing great. I’m genuinely grateful for his expertise, his team, and the excellent outcome. Dr. Monaco is an outstanding surgeon, and I appreciate the quality of care she provided.

Vantage surgery had been so helpful and attentive to all the details that I needed to know for my dog’s ACL surgery ! Tara, Liz and Cortney have been terrific! Dr. Monaco is so professional and thorough in explaining TPLO procedure to us. Lily has done fantastic because of Dr.Monaco! Thank you very much for your expertise and dedication and your dedicated team as well!! Definitely, refer to others!

For years, I watched my dog struggle—misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and left in pain by multiple hospitals. Every vet seemed to have a theory, but no one had a real answer. That is, until we met Dr. Monaco and his incredible team at Vantage Veterinary Surgery. I have to say, we had an appt scheduled for May 16 but I got a call on Sunday May 4 from them (they were closed) and they asked if we could get Connor in there on Tuesday, May 6 because Doctor Monaco had looked at his records and x-rays. Dr. Monaco didn’t just look at the problem—he saw it. With precision, expertise, and a level of care I had NEVER experienced, he diagnosed my boy’s torn cranial cruciate ligament—an injury that had been overlooked for years. Dr. Monaco performed the surgery with surgical mastery, restoring stability to our dog’s leg and giving him the pain-free life he deserves. Let’s talk about the team—the glue holding it all together. From pre-op to post-op, they were a force of compassion and competence, ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly. Their communication was clear, empathy genuine, and commitment to our dog’s recovery unmatched. The result? A dog, Connor, who is finally back on his feet—strong, steady, and happy. Watching him walk and try to run again (he cannot run until 10 wks after surgery , we are at 6/7 wks) after years of discomfort was nothing short of miraculous. To anyone facing a long, frustrating road of misdiagnosis or any type of orthopedic issue with their pet, please hear my words: Vantage Veterinary Surgery is where you need to go. Dr. Monaco is a surgeon who knows his craft, his team is the right hand you didn’t know you needed, and together they are the team who can change your dog’s life. I cannot thank them enough for giving Connor the chance to move pain-free again. They are, quite simply, the best.
