ADVANCED VETERINARY SURGERY

Get to Know Dr. Ben

Dr. Ben, DVM, is an experienced veterinary surgeon with more than 15 years of experience in academia and high-volume veterinary hospitals. He performs a wide range of surgical procedures, with extensive orthopedic training and a strong interest in trauma and soft tissue surgery. His particular passions include minimally invasive surgery and interventional radiology, offering advanced treatment approaches designed to support patient recovery and healing.

After graduating from Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany, in 2004, Dr. Ben completed an internship in general medicine and surgery. He then pursued advanced surgical specialization at Michigan State University, completing a residency in small animal surgery, a surgery fellowship, and a fellowship in interventional radiology.

Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Ben enjoys traveling, hiking, sailing, skiing, motorcycling, and gardening. He also values spending quality time with friends, family, and his own four-legged companions.

“Minimally invasive options are increasingly available, and our treatment repertoire is rapidly expanding. Less invasive surgery helps each patient recover and heal.”
