Oncology
We are proud to provide comprehensive surgical oncology options for cats and dogs in San Mateo, San Francisco, and the Bay Area. We work together with referring veterinary oncologists and general care veterinarians to provide expert services to pets that require advanced care.
Oncological Diagnostics
For pets who have not yet received a diagnosis, Lenity will diagnose and then refer the owner to an oncologist for consult and staging before proceeding. Our advanced imaging equipment allows us to get a better look at organs, tissues, and bones. When necessary, we can also perform surgical biopsies on delicate areas, such as a bone biopsy. These procedures may require an extended and careful recovery for the pet. We’ll walk owners through the process and provide detailed instructions to take home. We encourage pet owners to reach out to us with any questions they have at any stage.
Surgical Oncology
To ensure a successful surgery, Dr. Carlson or Dr. Tong will walk everyone on the care team through the process, recovery, any potential complications following surgery, and risks of additional oncologic treatments being required after the procedure, such as chemotherapy and radiation. After the surgery, the pet and owner are referred back to their original oncologist or veterinarian for follow-up care. Dr. Carlson and Dr. Tong are available to answer any and all questions throughout the process and during recovery.
Orthopedics
We are proud to provide a wide range of specialty orthopedic procedures for cats and dogs in San Mateo, San Francisco, and the Bay Area.
Laparoscopic
Minimally invasive, or laparoscopic surgery refers to a technique used by veterinary surgeons to provide a less intrusive approach to procedures.
Soft tissue
Generally, soft tissue surgery refers to any procedure that does not involve the bones or tendons and ligaments that support joints.
Stem cell therapy
Stem cell therapy is often referred to as regenerative medicine in specialty veterinary care.
Bone healing & osteoarthritis
The most common condition we treat using stem cell therapy is osteoarthritis.
