SAS ​
Small Animal Surgery in-house referrals

     

 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.

 Triage Vets are proud to welcome Andre as an honorary member of our team. We are extremely grateful for his dedication, diligence, and the thoughtful care he provides to each surgical patient.

Thanks to SAS support, we’re able to discuss complex cases collaboratively, giving our patients the opportunity to receive outstanding surgical care right here, locally. We’re truly thankful for this partnership and the continued excellence it brings to our clinic.

 We have been working with Martin for 3 years and it's always been a pleasure. When Martin visits, the procedures are always carried out to a high standard and the day runs efficiently. Martin communicates well with the team and the client, and we have nothing but positive feedback on cases. Martin is open to discussing cases prior to surgery and is very responsive. Being able to offer orthopaedic and advanced soft surgery at our practice is appealing and beneficial to clients, and we specifically recommend Martin for this. It has been a welcomed addition the past few years and long may it continue.

 We used Martin at Henlow vets for just over a year, and could not fault him. He is always professional and punctual, and works really well with our team. Martin will always take the time to get to know his patients and their problems, and to also spend time discussing the case with the owners. His pre-op and post-op instructions are very clear, and his surgical skills have been excellent. He has mostly done TPLO’s with us but also some arthroscopy and a biliary tract surgery. Martin is also always available and happy to give advice, whether that is if we would like a second opinion on x-rays or a post- op question.

 I’ve known Andre for almost 10 years now - he has been repairing our patients’ broken bones and joints for that long! Amazing! He has always been open/honest, helpful, communicative and the quality of his work: always outstanding! We love having Andre (and Tommy & Martin too!) as part of our extended team here at Elmfield Vets and we look forward to continuing to be able to help these complex orthopaedic patients with the help of the SAS Team in the future.

 Martin has been working with our practice as a peripatetic soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeon for several years. His care for the individual patients and their wide range of challenging conditions has been, without fail, exceptional. The outcomes for the patients have been excellent, from complex fracture repairs, to colonic resections. Our nursing team love working with him because of his excellent communication skills and caring attitude towards the patients. He has given a lot of support and advice to our vet team as well, always sharing his advanced knowledge generously and respectfully. We couldn't recommend Martin more highly, as a superb surgeon and colleague.
