Dear Dr. Cook,
You probably don’t remember us, but you did “ACL” surgery on Dave at the end of April. We followed your instructions to the letter. Dave is a huge Black Lab mix at about 100#…and very athletic. He is doing great! Even though it was a pretty expensive surgery, it was worth it 100x’s. Dave is playing tennis, ball fetching and running!
Thank you so much and certainly consider Dave a success!

A few weeks ago we had to make a gut-wrenching decision to undergo euthanasia for our beloved 11-year old Wheaton Terrier, Rocky. I wanted to reach out to your clinic, and in particular, Dr. Cook, because I truly believe the outstanding care Dr. Cook provided to Rocky several years ago with the arthroscopic knee surgeries (both back legs, 3 years apart), helped Rocky live a wonderful life and he was active up until the last month or so of his life. As part of my grieving process I felt it was important to share the news, and to offer my deepest gratitude to your clinic and Dr. Cook, as we appreciated it, and certainly Rocky benefited from the outstanding care. We have a 7- year old Shih Tzu, thankfully, and that has helped us get through these trying and sad times, and if we ever need specialized medical services (hopefully not!) for her (Ashlee), we will certainly bring her to your clinic. Take care and again, thank you for being a positive, uplifting part of Rocky’s life.

Daisy has had both of her knees fixed using arthroscopy and Tightrope. She recently had her right knee fixed and is acting like she never had surgery. The second knee recovery was very easy. She is back to normal! Dr.Cook is fantastic!

Cooper had both knees repaired using the Tightrope. He is doing great and back to full activity. I am very happy with the outcome!

I was a stray that found my way to Dr.Cook through Rover Rescue. My knee was shattered and needed to be fixed so I could walk again. Dr.Cook repaired my fracture and then later adopted me! Now I love to run and chase chipmunks!

Gizmo came to Valley Veterinary Surgery through Rover Rescue a local rescue organization that finds pets that usually need a lot of medical attention. They are a terrific rescue that get them the care they need and then adopts them out. Gizmo came to us with a broken left hip and left femur that had actually healed terribly incorrectly with his femur sticking out toward the middle of his body. We did not know his exact history as we assumed he was either hit by a car of kicked by someone to cause such trauma. Through two separate surgeries, Dr.Cook was able to get him to where he is able to have a normal life again. He is in a house with three small children who love him dearly! He runs up and down the stairs chasing his toys on a daily basis!

Amanda was very informative about all knee repair techniques. I drove a long way because of the valuable explanation I received. Because he is a Rottweiler, I was told to have the TPLO technique done, however I wasn’t convinced due to the invasive nature of it and wanted something better for Leo.

Wanted to pop in and let you know how wonderful Buddy is doing at his 2 year anniversary of tightrope repair done 12-21-12! I was a mess 2 years ago with worry… Your staff was so kind to both of us… He is doing awesome! Thank you!

Ruby is doing great! She had a TPLO done on her right knee in 2013 and had a rough recovery. She had the Tightrope procedure done on her left knee 3/11/2015 and was much more comfortable.
