Welcome to the Canine Cruciate Center of New England
OUR APPROACH
Our approach to surgery is to carefully assess and diagnose, then ensure you are fully informed of all aspects of your pet’s condition and available treatment options.
STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY
Our hospital is complete with the latest technology including advanced diagnostic instrumentation, digital x-ray, in-house laboratory, and a cutting-edge surgical suite.
AN EXPERT TEAM
We all want the best for our pets, and their health care is no exception. That’s why we’ve formed a dedicated team of individuals who are the best of the best and carry out their duties with compassion and a commitment to excellence each and every day.
INNOVATIVE APPROACH
We’re not here to sell you anything. Our results speak for themselves. Dr. Murtha is a scientist and a surgeon—not a salesman. That is why our QLF™ surgery is fast emerging organically on its own merits as a primary alternative to traditional cruciate surgeries.
What Is QLF™ Surgery?
Our QLF™ surgery is a more natural approach because it simply re-stabilizes and reinforces what mother nature created in the first place rather than attempting to redesign the anatomy of the canine stifle and reengineer the biomechanics of the joint. Why? Click to learn about the science behind how it’s possible.
Evaluation Process
We see patients from every corner of New England every day and from all over the United States on a regular basis. For each and every case we see, we have a rigorous screening process that enables us to not only confirm (or rule out) the diagnosis of a cranial cruciate ligament tear, but identify any and all co-pathologies that may be present in any given case
