Monett Veterinary Hospital Expands Pet and Animal Surgery Services With Advanced Laser and Radiowave Techniques

MONETT, MO – September 17, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Monett Veterinary Hospital, an AAHA-accredited, full-service small animal hospital serving southwestern Missouri since 1953, has announced an expansion of its surgical program, placing renewed emphasis on advanced laser and radiowave techniques for the care of dogs and cats. The hospital continues to provide these methods as an alternative to traditional surgical approaches for a range of procedures, including tumor removal and various corrective operations.

Laser and radiowave surgery differ from conventional methods in that the instruments seal both nerves and blood vessels as they cut. According to the hospital, this results in less pain and bleeding, faster healing, and improved patient comfort during recovery. These techniques are applied across many of the procedures performed at the facility, from routine operations to more complex corrective work.

The surgical program at Monett Veterinary Hospital Pet and Animal Surgery is supported by a sterile surgery suite equipped with patient warming devices, multiple patient monitors, and isoflurane gas anesthesia. Certified technicians monitor patients throughout every procedure, from induction through recovery. This level of monitoring is intended to support patient safety and consistent outcomes across the full spectrum of surgeries offered.

Beyond routine surgeries such as spay and neuter, the hospital performs referral surgeries for other local veterinarians. These referral cases include orthopedic procedures such as fracture repair and joint surgery. Drawing on its surgical training and capabilities, the facility serves as a referral center for the wider veterinary community in the region.

“Advances in surgical technology allow the team to provide care that reduces discomfort and supports quicker recovery for pets,” said Erin Carnes, spokesperson for Monett Veterinary Hospital. “Laser and radiowave methods give the surgical staff additional options when planning a procedure, and the ability to accept referrals means area animals can access these techniques close to home.”

The hospital was established by Dr. C.J. McCormick in 1953 and has grown from a single-veterinarian practice into a comprehensive animal care facility. Its surgical offerings include routine and major surgery, orthopedic surgery, laser surgery, and radiowave surgery, supported by radiology, an in-house laboratory, and internal medicine services that assist with diagnosis and surgical planning.

“Serving as a referral center reflects decades of surgical experience within the practice,” Carnes said. “Local veterinarians can direct cases requiring specialized procedures to a facility that is equipped and staffed to handle them.”

Monett Veterinary Hospital is a full-service, AAHA-accredited small animal hospital located in Monett, Missouri. Founded in 1953, the hospital has served the surrounding area for more than 50 years and is recognized for its commitment to excellence, having received the AAHA Commitment to Excellence Award in 2007 and a Veterinary Economics Architectural Award for Excellence. In addition to its surgical services, the hospital provides preventive care, radiology, internal medicine, an in-house laboratory, pharmacy services, grooming, boarding, doggie daycare, and the TLC Wellness Care program. The practice remains focused on supporting a better quality of life for pets and the families who care for them throughout southwestern Missouri.
