Advanced Surgical Care When Your Pet Needs It Most
Not all veterinary surgeons are board-certified. Dr. Kern’s expertise makes First Choice the trusted choice for complex cases throughout New England.
Advanced Surgical Care by a Board-Certified Specialist
Dr. Kern is one of the few board-certified surgeons in Maine. To learn more about board-certified surgeons, visit ACVS.org. Patients travel from across New England for referral surgeries with Dr. Kern. All procedures are performed on-site at our clinic, where we provide attentive care before, during, and after surgery to ensure the best possible outcomes.
We offer referral surgery services through both self-referrals and referrals from primary care veterinarians. Procedures include soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, with neurosurgery cases available on a limited basis. With over 600 different types of surgeries offered, we encourage you to contact our office with any specific surgical questions.
Please note, we are not a low cost spay/neuter clinic. Our staff is happy to discuss our surgical services. Please call (207)893-8134 to inquire.
