About the Canine Cruciate Center of New England
The Canine Cruciate Center of New England, located at 1627 Osgood Street in North Andover, Massachusetts, is a leading institution specializing in health and veterinary care for dogs. Our dedicated team of experts is committed to providing the best possible care for your pet, with a focus on advanced diagnostics, cutting-edge surgical techniques, and compassionate service.
At our center, we offer a natural approach to cruciate surgery known as QLF™ surgery, which aims to re-stabilize and reinforce the canine stifle joint without redesigning the anatomy or biomechanics. Dr. Murtha, a scientist and surgeon, leads our team and has documented the success of our procedures through post-operative surveys.
We welcome patients from all over New England and the United States, offering a rigorous screening process to ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. If your dog has a torn ACL (CCL), consider the benefits of our innovative QLF™ surgery as an alternative to traditional methods. Visit us at the Canine Cruciate Center of New England to learn more and make the right decision for your beloved pet.

Reviews of Canine Cruciate Center of New England
"Our Chocolate Labrador Retriever is now 7 1/2 months Post Op. All is amazing and she is back skiing, hiking, mountain biking and playing with her friends. We travelled around 6 hours to come to the Canine Cruciate Center and have been absolutely pleased. The entire staff has been great, following up on Ellie's status on a regular basis. With a few days Post-Op she was weighting the repaired left hind leg and steadily improved. We followed the recovery instructions diligently. As she improved and we increased the length of walks/hikes and runs we made sure to provide easy rest days after harder sessions, very much like one would do with a recovering injured athlete. We also kept her very limited around other dogs for about 7 months as we did not want to risk a re-injury. She is now back playing and running with her friends. Ellie has had no noticeable limp or problem with her gait in probably more than 3 months. All in All a total success! Many thanks to the team. Doug and Susan, Lake Placid, NY"
"Our experience with the Canine Cruciate Center, Dr. Murtha & Staff was 10/10! If I could give a higher rating, I would. Our 2 year old dog, Heisenberg, was diagnosed by our at-home Vet in NJ with Bilateral CCL Tears. Our whole world flipped upside down with this diagnosis - from the research, the fears, the unknowns, all the questions, etc. We originally went to our vet for the X-ray under anesthesia because he sits and stands slowly, gets on the couch slowly, and his bones literally click (think of an older dog moving around). We were checking him for past-trauma (he was a street dog in Aruba) or hip dysplasia, and were certainly not expecting this diagnosis. I posted in a FB group for suggestions/support, and the Cruciate Center was recommended to us. We called as soon as we could, asked so many questions and requested a call from Dr. Murtha, who called us within a week or so. This man, who on his "free" time between patients, talked with me and my husband for about 20 minutes, for no charge. We ran out of time on the call, and he told us he would call back when he could, and he did again, about an hour later, for another 20 minutes or so. He is incredibly detailed, thorough, honest and eases your mind because he knows CCL Tears inside and out - no pun intended. We made the decision to travel to North Andover (about 7 hours for us) to have Dr. Murtha re-do the X-Ray under Anesthesia, which is also called an Orthopedic Evaluation under sedation (OEUS). This is what he recommended to us on the phone, to have another one done by an Ortho vet who specializes in CCLs. We are SO happy that we scheduled this and made the road-trip with our two crazy dogs, because our vet misdiagnosed him! Dr. Murtha called us that day after Heisenberg woke up and it turned out to be bilateral hip dysplasia, and literally nothing wrong with his CCLs/Stifle Joints. He sent out his X-Rays to a board certified radiologist to give a second opinion, but he was right on the money, because the radiologist said the same exact thing. If we would've jumped the gun and booked a CCL surgery at home (because that's what our vet wanted us to do), we would've put Heisenberg through 6 months of unnecessary surgeries/trauma/healing, spent thousands of dollars, and experienced incredible stress while navigating all of that. The fact that Dr. Murtha does a Ortho Eval under Sedation prior to booking the surgery is a MUST - this was the thing that changed the game for us. And now, we will need to do annual Ortho Evals under Anesthesia for his Hip Dysplasia, and we may make this an annual family road trip! Just to give Heisenberg the care he needs, and to give us the peace of mind from Dr. Murtha and his Staff. Thank you so much!"
"In late April of 2021 Lola, our Leavitt Bulldog (10 years old), under went QLF surgery to address cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injury. After following the recovery protocol Lola has recovered completely. She has regained all of her strength and is just as active as she was prior to the CCL injury. The surgery went well and her recovery was fine. The biggest challenge was minimizing her activity during recovery as it was obvious she was feeling better and more confident in her movement (a proof of the success of the surgery). During the recovery the office was in routine contact with us to check on Lola's progress and always there for any questions. We very grateful for the professionalism shown and the fantastic outcome from the surgery. We strongly would recommend the Canine Cruciate Center of New England and Dr. Murtha to anyone with a dog in need of this procedure."
"Last May, our 1 year old shepherd mix Indigo was suddenly limping and we were at a loss for what to do. I spent hours reading about TPLO surgeries and horror stories of plates having to be removed, infections, etc. We felt so helpless. After many sleepless nights of researching and lunch breaks spent calling different animal hospitals in the state of Massachusetts, I landed on the Canine Cruciate Center website. I was intrigued by Dr. Murtha's QLF procedure, and gave them a call. The staff at the Canine Cruciate Center were able to get Indigo an evaluation appointment quickly, and Dr. Murtha was able to diagnose Indigo with a likely CCL tear. After thoroughly explaining the CCL procedure, the recovery process, and the benefits, we scheduled Indigo's QLF for later that month. On the day of Indigo's surgery we were provided multiple updates on her progress, and we were able to take her home the same day. We were given thorough instructions on what the recovery process was going to look like over the next days, weeks and several months. The incredible staff at the Canine Cruciate center called up multiple times a week to check in on Indigo during her initial recovery. They encouraged us to reach out with any questions or concerns, and it was extremely comforting - and helpful - for us to have such wonderful support. While the recovery process has been long and difficult at times (carrying an 80 lb dog up and down stairs was a learning curve at first!) my husband and I have followed every direction in the recovery process and are thrilled to have our sweet, energetic puppy running around the back yard again. People are shocked when we tell them that she had a fully ruptured CCL just 5 months ago. We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Murtha and the Canine Cruciate Center. Our Indigo is back to her daily hour long walks, playing in the back yard and zoomie-ing around the house like before. If you were like us and are weary of the TPLO process - give Dr. Murtha a call. We are eternally grateful. Thank you for helping our Indigo ! (PS. The picture of Indigo jumping in the leaves was just 5 months after her QLF!!!)"
"My little 5 year old terrier mix tore his back ACL almost.2 years ago. I was referred to Dr. Murtha by a friend because of his QLF method, and wow, he did not disappoint. Not only was the staff extremely nice and provided me with all the information I needed to be comfortable with the surgery, but the recovery time was much faster than other procedures. As an added bonus, he never (and still hasn't) torn his other ACL, which is a common side effect to other ACL surgery methods. Now he's back to functioning normally as a happy and healthy puppy. I definitely recommend bringing your dog here."
