Tailwind Veterinary Surgery Care is here to help you!  Whether hosting outside specialty services for the very first time in your hospital, or whether you regularly host outside specialty services but may be looking for sensible, customized and expert options – we will help to facilitate support in the pre-operative, diagnostic period; surgery day, logistical support; and along the therapeutic, post-operative journey, we will guide, support (encourage!) and steward the entire process.

How it works!

Once you’ve determined that you have a patient that may benefit from surgical expertise simply text or email Dr. Haburjak.  Our team, will use our years of experience, and training to help determine the suitability and practicality of achieving the surgical needs of the patient in question.  Many times we can help reinforce your diagnosis by interpreting diagnostics you’ve already performed, or make recommendations for further diagnostics needed. Tailwind can also help determine appropriate surgery day anesthetic protocols, facilitate patient preparation, and post-op patient recovery as well as provide detailed after-care instructions for dissemination to the pet owner.  During the post-operative period we will remain connected to the case, and make recommendations for ongoing care that may be appropriate on an individual patient basis.

Day of surgery.  Dr. Haburjak or the staff of Tailwind will confirm our surgery table time the night before, and refine that time the day of surgery.  The patient should have appropriate pre-medications on board at arrival, and preferably have been induced and the prep initiated.  Our staff can help refine the prep margins as the time of surgery.  All patients need IV access, and all patients need appropriate prophylactic anti-biotics and anesthetic pain control on board.  After surgery, and during recovery we will type a detailed report, with post-operative recommendations for the clinician and the pet owner.  We are speedy – most procedures we are in-and-out of your hospital in 90min or less.  We are tidy – our staff will clean, and empty all receptacles upon departure, we will leave your work space clean and ready for your use.  We are experienced – with over 26y of veterinary experience in the ‘system’ we will make customized, prudent and sensible recommendations to optimize success and our ability to achieve the therapeutic goals of each and every pet owner that utilizes our service.

State of the Art.

All of our recommendations and protocols are ‘best’ practice standards.  We use USA derived, elemental silver, plasma coated implants, locking implants, limited contact implants with vigorous   standards of expertise and safety.  We ‘time’ our patient preparation, and we ‘time’ our surgical scrub and meet or exceed the WHO’s recommendations of peri-operative sterility practices meant to reduce the potential of peri-operative infections.  Our collaboration as beta-test developers for several veterinary implant companies and our affiliations with leaders and innovators in the veterinary biomedical device field underscore the sensibility and validity of our implant choices and our technical expertise developed in the accurate and precise deployment of these devices.  Our years in the field combined with our deep desire to help the pets within your care will ‘show’ in our product and the results, we feel, will speak for themselves!
