For pet owners in Arizona facing a diagnosis that requires advanced surgical expertise or complex internal medical management, knowing where to turn for world-class veterinary care is essential. Dr. Bradford C. Dixon, DVM, MS, Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), is a highly esteemed board-certified veterinary surgeon practicing in Gilbert, Arizona. Dr. Dixon offers a level of specialty care that extends well beyond general veterinary practice, focusing on intricate procedures and challenging medical cases.

Dr. Dixon is a key specialist within a collaborative medical environment, providing advanced surgical solutions for pets across the Southwest. His distinction as a Diplomate of the ACVS confirms he has completed four years of veterinary school, a year-long internship, and a multi-year surgical residency, culminating in a rigorous examination. This extensive training, combined with his long-standing experience in the Arizona veterinary community since 1995, ensures pets receive the safest and most sophisticated surgical treatment available. His areas of expertise include orthopedic surgery, oncologic (cancer) surgery, and spinal surgery, with a particular interest in advanced procedures like the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) for cruciate ligament repair.

The quality of care provided by Dr. Dixon and his associated teams is often life-saving, as demonstrated by the glowing testimonials from local clients. One impressed pet owner, an ICU nurse by profession, shared how Dr. Dixon performed two successful TPLO surgeries on their dog, Tasha. During the second procedure, Dr. Dixon and his team’s quick and appropriate action was credited with saving the dog’s life when a serious second-degree heart block was discovered under anesthesia. Furthermore, this surgeon's impressive diagnostic skill allowed him to correctly diagnose Tasha’s back stenosis without immediate radiologic studies, transitioning the senior dog to a proper medication regimen to ensure she is now "enjoying life." This holistic approach—combining surgical mastery, critical care proficiency, and diagnostic insight—is a hallmark of the care provided here.
