A practical take on small animal surgery.
My name is Kristy Broaddus, and I am a veterinarian who is board-certified in small animal surgery.
When I am in surgery, I am constantly having my very agreeable staff (lol) take pictures. I will publish these pictures with descriptions in order to try to help other veterinarians, to learn better techniques or simply show current techniques clearly. If you would like to see any particular surgery, please let me know and I will do my best to give a pictorial view.
As for my background, I grew up in Birmingham Michigan and then went to Georgetown University for undergraduate studies. I returned to Michigan to attend Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. From there I went to Auburn University for a Small Animal Rotating Internship. I stayed there for my residency (3yrs) in surgery and masters degree. There after, I became board-certified in surgery and worked at Oklahoma State University as faculty before moving to Richmond Virginia as a private pratice surgeon. Currently, I own my own practice, Veterinary Specialists of Hanover, in Mechanicsville, Viriginia. I am very happy to help pets and their owners as a veterinarian and veterinary surgeon.
