Dear Fellow Veterinarians,
We would like to make available to you for referral a comprehensive suite of minimally invasive
surgery (MIS) and flexible-endoscopic procedures in our state-of-the-art clinic
at Binjai Park.
The benefits of MIS and flexible-endoscopy for your patients include:
• Smaller or no incision • Quicker recovery time
• Markedly reduced pain • Less scarring
• Lower risk of infection • Reduced blood loss
All referring veterinarians will be provided with a comprehensive report and DVD video (upon
request) of the procedure.
