Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is one of Dr. Pedraza's central clinical focuses. His training includes laparoscopy, endoscopy and arthroscopy, supported by high-definition scopes, laser technology and magnified visualization where appropriate.
His background also includes orthopedic procedures such as TPLO and traditional open surgery. The recommended approach is based on the individual case, physical examination, diagnostics, anatomy and anesthetic considerations rather than the technology alone.
Caring Approach and Philosophy
Dr. Pedraza believes clear communication with companion families is an essential part of surgical care. He explains diagnoses, treatment options and surgical plans so families understand both the proposed approach and the alternatives.
During what can be a stressful time, he prioritizes each companion's comfort and works with families to make the next steps clear from consultation through follow-up.
Before a consultation, explore the questions to ask about surgery so you can discuss the proposed approach, alternatives, anesthesia and estimate.
Commitment to Los Angeles Companion Animals
