Testimonials

     

 SAS provides an amazing and professional service both soft tissue and orthopaedic. Andre is so compassionate and knowledgable and I am so grateful to him for saving my dog's life when he had a bladder stone blocking his urethra and unable to pass urine. Andre responded very quickly and with his surgical skills saved him by removing the stone that was blocked and others in his bladder. I can't thank Andre enough for all the care he gave to Ollie and myself and couldn't recommend him enough

 I’m a person who truly believes animals need to be treated as human beings and my furry Pepper is my little baby. In the summer heat of 2016 she fell down the window from the 1st floor. As clumsy as she is, has not landed on her legs properly. My husband and I took her immediately to the emergency nearby and the following day she had surgery. By looking to her X-ray I could see on the doctor's face it was not an easy job and I truly felt I was loosing my cat.  Thanks to the amazing surgical skill of Dr Andre Pereira and team they’ve managed to pull out the impossible - as the scenario was truly grim and looking to a possible front leg amputation.  Pepper had her leg saved with a lot of metal and 2 plates. The team was truly impeccable providing regular updates and kept my Pepper under close watch. Pepper stayed in a cage for 8 weeks and recovered 100%!!  She has full range of motion and she’s more active than ever. I can’t say my praises enough to Dr Andre Pereira and team who both saved Pepper’s leg not giving up in this so complex case.
