We strive to make your referral appointment as stress-free as possible.
We understand that this unexpected issue may be upsetting to you and your pet,
but we hope you will get the answers and solutions needed to ease your mind.
Your veterinarian has referred you to our office for Dr. Montgomery's surgical and referral services.
They will send us a referral form with information about you and your pet.
Expect a call from us within a few days after receiving your veterinarian's referral form.

What to do the night before
Your pet should not eat the night before their appointment after midnight.
Water is fine, even in the morning. This is in case your pet has to be sedated.
Do not administer pain medications 12 hours before your appointment so we can better assess your pet's pain level.
Please bring with you
Your pet’s medications
Copies of your pet’s x-rays (if applicable)
A single-serving meal (if staying the night)
If you cannot make your appointment, please get in touch with our office at least 24 hours in advance. No-shows may be charged.
Please note that you might have to wait longer than usual to be seen due to the unpredictable nature of referral appointments.
Payment is expected at the time of service
Our consultation fee is $135.00. If surgery is performed that day or scheduled soon enough that the exam does not need to be repeated (determined by Dr. Montgomery), this fee will be applied toward your surgical cost.
The consultation fee does not include the cost of any additional sedation, x-rays, or medications.
An estimate of these procedures will be given to you for consent before being performed.

We accept AMEX, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, local check, and cash.

Appointments and Surgery
Appointments are by referral only and occur in the morning on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
Surgeries start after 12:00 PM
Dr. Montgomery will call you when your pet is in recovery AFTER the surgery. It can be after 5:00 PM as there are multiple surgeries that day, and some can be unpredictable. You are then asked to text 850-816-0701 an hour after his phone call to check and see how your pet is waking up from anesthesia and to set up a discharge time. Depending on when they go in the surgery line-up for that day and how quickly they are waking up, discharge times are typically between 5:00 and 8:00 PM
Our location
We are located at 9051 N Davis Hwy in Pensacola.
We are approximately one mile from Hwy 90 and Interstate 10, just north of West Florida Hospital.
Because of our good relationship with your veterinarian, we will not accept your pet in our practice for general care, only referral care. Thank you for being so understanding!

What is a board-certified Veterinary surgeon?
Regenerative Medicine
What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine utilizes the body’s own cells to heal and regenerate damaged tissues in acute and chronic conditions.
What Can Regenerative Medicine be Used for?
Osteoarthritis, Acute and Chronic Soft Tissue Injuries, Tendon Injuries, Ligament Injuries, Muscle Injuries, and Certain Spinal Conditions.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
What is it?
A highly concentrated blood sample that contains platelets and plasma. When used as a therapy, PRP can help regenerate and heal tissues.
How does it work?
A small amount of blood is taken from your dog and is processed using a specialized system that concentrates the platelets and plasma. Once it is processed, it is injected directly into the area of injury. It recruits cells to an area of injury to clean up dead and injured cells. They release proteins called, “Growth Factors,” which are responsible for tissue regeneration.
What kind of results can be expected?
Every dog’s response to therapy will be different. Therapeutic effects last between 6-12 months for dogs with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Stem Cells
What is it?
Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell. They can also activate other surrounding stem cells and recruit additional cell types to aid in wound healing and tissue repair.
How does it work?
A small amount of bone marrow is collected from the femur while the dog is under general anesthesia. It is then processed using a specialized system that isolates and concentrates the stem cells. Once the processing is complete, the stem cells are then directly injected into the area of injury.
What kind of results can be expected?
Every dog’s response to therapy will be different. Therapeutic effects last over 12 months with one treatment of stem cells for dogs with moderate to severe osteoarthritis.
