Advanced Surgical Services at Ali‘i Animal Hospitals

At Ali‘i Animal Hospitals, we are proud to offer advanced boarded surgical services in partnership with

Dr. Courtney Watkins, MS, Diplomate ACVS, an exceptionally talented and experienced veterinary surgeon dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality surgical care for pets across O‘ahu.

Dr. Watkins works closely with our teams at both our Kailua and Kaka‘ako locations, allowing us to provide efficient, accessible surgical care when pets need it most.

Trusted Surgical Care Without the Long Wait

We understand that when a pet needs surgery, time matters. Unlike many specialty centers with extended scheduling delays, Ali‘i Animal Hospitals is known for providing:

  • Same-day or next-day surgical consultations

  • Prompt scheduling for urgent procedures

  • Emergency surgical support

  • Collaborative care with referring veterinarians throughout the island

We proudly work alongside family veterinarians and emergency clinics to ensure seamless communication, continuity of care, and the best possible outcomes for every patient.

Our advanced surgical services include a wide range of orthopedic and soft tissue procedures, including:

Orthopedic Surgery

  • TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)

  • MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) repair

  • Cruciate ligament injury management

  • Fracture repair

  • Other orthopedic procedures

Soft Tissue Surgery

  • Mass removals and tumor surgery

  • Exploratory procedures

  • Wound reconstruction and complex closures

BOAS Airway Surgery

We also offer surgical correction for Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) in breeds such as Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers to help improve breathing, comfort, and quality of life.

A Resource for Pets, Clients, and Referring Veterinarians

Ali‘i Animal Hospitals proudly serves as both a primary surgical provider and an emergency surgery center. We accept:

  • Referrals from veterinarians across O‘ahu

  • Emergency surgical cases

  • Direct client consultations when appropriate

Our goal is simple: provide timely, expert surgical care while maintaining strong relationships with the veterinary community and the families who trust us with their pets.

If your pet may benefit from a surgical consultation, or if you are a referring veterinarian seeking prompt specialty surgical support, our team is here to help.
