When pain, injury, or orthopedic disease limits your pet’s ability to walk, run, jump, or play comfortably, specialized surgical care can restore mobility and improve quality of life.
At Adamstown Veterinary Hospital, our orthopedic surgery team provides diagnostic evaluation and surgical treatment for conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and musculoskeletal system. Using imaging, surgical planning, and modern orthopedic techniques, we help dogs and cats return to comfortable, active lives.
We have 2 locations, one Located in Denver, Pennsylvania, and one located in Lititz, PA. We proudly serve pets throughout Lancaster County, Berks County, Lebanon County, Reading, Ephrata, Lititz, and surrounding communities.

MPL surgery restores proper alignment of the kneecap and helps prevent arthritis, pain, and progressive joint damage.
