Capabilities
Andrew Wills developed an interest in orthopaedic surgery
in 1990, and passed the Certificate in Small Animal Orthopaedics examination in
1993. This is an examination developed by the Royal College of Veterinary
Surgeons which demonstrates competence in a subject area over and above that
required for general practice. Since then, he has accepted referrals from other
practices while working in Dover. Most of these cases were from East Kent, but
some came from further afield - London for example, and even one case from
Wales! Andrew moved to Faversham in February 2002, which is easier for people to
travel to. The practice is 3 minutes from the M2 junction, for example, and less
than 2
minutes from the A2.
Diagnostics
These include advanced xray techniques such as
myelography, for imaging spinal disease
Orthopaedic surgery
Fracture repair, joint disease investigation and
treatment, spinal surgery
Soft Tissue Surgery
As well as orthopaedic surgery, the practice is able
to perform complex soft tissue procedures, including laryngeal tieback,
collapsed trachea (windpipe), and various abdominal procedures including
prostatic surgery, and colposuspension for the incontinent bitch
