Job Description

Company Description

Stonecliff Veterinary Surgical Center has been practicing the highest quality veterinary medicine, while providing our patients and clients with the utmost care and compassion since 1990. We are a 4-doctor, full-service GP hospital & Veterinary Surgical Center. Our brand-new facility offers wellness, surgery, ultrasound, dental, & behavioral case management, all within a friendly & caring AAHA-accredited environment.

A large part of our practice involves solving lameness issues in dogs as Dr Kelly has been performing Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy to correct ACL injuries for over 25 years.

He was the first veterinarian in Vermont licensed to perform this procedure and clients travel with their dogs from far and wide to be evaluated at Stonecliff Veterinary Surgical Center.

Our goal is to provide the best veterinary medical care in the northeast with state-of-the-art equipment, the most knowledgeable staff, and a genuine love for our patients and their companions.
