Dr.Missenghers an his Staff I can’t say enough great things about them. Jenna is a complete “Gem” my boxer Franny hyper extended her leg a pretty complex surgery it’s a 12 week recovery process it has healed an Fran is doing well. I can’t THANK Dr. Misseghers enough he restored my faith in the veterinarian world. He will ALWAYS be the “MAGIC MAN” in our home an never be forgotten. 🤗❤️

My 2 year old little Moly has grade 4 luxating patellas on both knees. After being referred here by my vet she underwent a successful surgery last week. I am giving 5 stars because everyone from front desk to the surgeon went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything from post care to expectations and cost. Unfortunately Molly decided to lick her leg raw and caused some bleeding (unrelated to surgery) in a panic I called them and they were able to get molly in between appointments and even helped me out at the front desk. The staff there truly cares and I highly recommend this place 5/5 stars! Thank you!

When I found out my cat Maeve had a polyp in her ear I was so sad because of what the future looked like for her. I called what feels like every veterinary place in Washington State hoping somewhere could help her and at a reasonable cost too. When I called VSS they were so kind and so willing to help. Any surgical vet place is very hard to schedule appointments with because of how busy they all are. VSS not only got Maeve an appointment in a timely manner but I was able to schedule her surgery 1 week after the consult. Dr. Byron Misseghers and his surgical team + office staff were absolutely amazing and I cannot thank them enough. Maeve is now back at home without an ear polyp acting as if she didn’t have surgery yesterday! Highly recommend this place for anyone needing veterinary services.

We've had an amazing experience here!
Both the doctors and staff have taken excellent care of our dog mellow.
She had a broken femur and we were able to get a surgery appointment within a couple of days. The surgery itself was without complications and we felt very well taken care of! The doctor and staff checked in with us regularly to see how she was doing. They made sure she had enough medication and did not hesitate to prescribe us what she needed. Her fracture healed excellent she has no problems walking, running, jumping. The scar looks perfect !
She is her usual quirky self again thanks to veterinary surgical specialists ! We would come back any time with any of our animals !

Thank you to all the staff for making such a hard time easier on us and for taking care of her ❤

We’re back home. Great trip to Spokane. The Spokane Vet Specialist’s are amazing!!! I drove 3 hours (each way) with our yellow lab today to see Dr. Misseghers. Definitely worth the drive!

We went to a vet near Wenatchee who diagnosed our yellow lab with a bicipital tear on his left shoulder. Their suggested therapy was around 3k 😬 my trust was lost when they told me they would shave a small area… when I picked him up… He was shaved more than a “small area“. Both his left shoulder all the way down to his feet were shaved… Poorly I might add. He looked like a four-year-old shaved him. I decided to get a second opinion because I didn't feel comfortable with our fur kiddo in their care. (other issues as well).

Fast forward to today I drove to Spokane at 6 AM and I took him to Spokane veterinary specialists. (I’ve been there in the past with a previous dog). They could not have been nicer, more accommodating, compassionate, and knowledgeable! They definitely are “specialists“ with Dog injuries or muscular skeletal issues. Our dog (110%) does not have a bicipital tear in either shoulder… they redid the ultrasound today… both of his shoulders are totally healthy with no injury. Still waiting on results from a second test.

Dr. Missegher's was amazing, compassionate, caring and kind with our yellow lab. Jenn, Donna and the staff there were also great. Caring staff. Authentic. Genuinely cared about our pup and his well being. Knowledgeable staff and definitely experts in their field.

Thank you for the great care today for our sweet boy.

We could not be more impressed with the surgical outcome that Gus has had. Dr M has been patient, compassionate, and overwhelmingly kind to both us and Gus. He and his staff are highly recommended
and we will continue to use them!

Dr. Misseghers and his staff are amazing! They go above and beyond with any questions you may have. My dog Mollie had TPLO procedure at the end of July. When I picked her up to take her home, Jenna helped with the discharge and explained everything so well and very nice!! She's still currently on restrictions but is doing great! We have about 4 weeks to go. I highly recommend VSS, Dr. Misseghers and the staff! Thank you

If it was not for the horrible treatment that I received at this office I would not have received a second opinion at WSU. I was referred to this office from my vet for a mass on my dog. Before any imaging, diagnostic, labs, the surgeon told me the mass was inoperable there was nothing that could be done. He said at most a CT biopsy just to see what it was, but insinuating there was really no point. I said I would like to do the imaging and the biopsy. When he left the room to order the tests, I could hear him talking to the other employees and he stated very clearly, "yeah, that dog is going to die. She still wants to do the tests but it doesn't matter because she's still going to die.". He then proceeded to go into detail about the size and location of the mass on my dog so I know he was talking about my pet. How horrible to hear. As someone who has been in healthcare, clinical staff, I was appalled.

WSU was AMAZING. Zoey is currently in recovery tonight from her "inoperable" surgery. She is doing great. I will pick her up tomorrow. Thank you for the worst bedside manner and horrible treatment because without that, we never would have gone to WSU!!!!!!
