Western Carolina Veterinary Surgery

"We were so pleased with the excellent care our senior Bischon mix dog received at Western Carolina Veterinary. He’s had luxating patella’s in both back knees his whole life, and in early November, his worse back knee really got strained going up 3 short stairs. Our regular vet told us we needed an orthopedic specialist and based on the great reviews, we came here. We did NOT want to have to do surgery, and thankfully, Dr. Crouch agreed. I loved Dr. Crouch’s approach of a conservative treatment plan made up of injections (not into the joint, but into the skin) of joint supporting medicine, natural supplements (like fish oil and organic CBD), and focusing on flat walks for exercise (no jumping, running in circles, etc) . Dr. Crouch clearly loves his field as he is very up to date on all treatment options, the complications that come with surgery and how to mitigate it, etc. He was very kind and spent a lot of time with us explaining things and answering our questions. We couldn’t have had a better visit, and we’ve since implemented his recommendations with our primary vet and seen great results! Our dog is walking great, not in pain at all, and back to his normal self. Thank you Dr. Crouch and team!"

"Can't say enough good things about Dr Crouch. Our Girl Sadie had TPLO surgery on her left knee back on 04/13/23 by Dr. Karlin at Tufts University in Grafton Mass which went very well as Sadie recovered from that well. Dr Karlin advised us that Sadie will definitely need the same TPLO surgery on her right knee because she had luxating patellas in both knees. Due to our Home being sold and under contract and my wife and I relocating to North Carolina we couldn't schedule the next surgery with Dr. Karlin. When we finally relocated to North Carolina Sadie started to have problems in her right knee as Dr Karlin from Tufts advised. Not knowing what to do and desperately wanting to find a good orthopedic surgeon for our girl Sadie but not knowing the area my wife Sherri did some research. Well she found Dr Crouch which is 2 and a half hour drive from where we live in North Carolina. We took Sadie to Dr Crouch and he explained everything in detail about the TPLO surgery. We scheduled the appointment for her surgery with Dr Crouch. Before Sadie's surgery with Dr Crouch I got spoke to Dr. Karlin who did Sadie's first TPLO surgery and told him about our plans and asked him if was familiar with Dr Crouch. Dr. Karlin had nothing but good things to say about Dr Crouch and also told me that he would take his own dog to him. Needless to say that made me feel real good. Dr. Crouch is very informative and explained everything about the surgery in great detail even though he knew we have been here before. I Highly recommend Dr. Crouch. You can trust that he will take care of you beloved pet. Thank You Dr Crouch."

"I can’t say enough about my wonderful experience here. I have a very large dog who needed knee surgery at 3 years old. The level of care is the best I’ve seen for both people and pets (and I am a surgical tech)! Dr. Crouch is willing to spend any amount of time answering questions until you are comfortable handing over your fur baby. The staff is kind and easy to work with. I will recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Dr. Crouch and staff, for making Daisy better."

"Our cocker spaniel Ruby sustained an injury to her cruciate ligament.. our regular vet Dr Cassie Lord at Apple valley veterinary referred us to Dr Crouch at Western NC veterinary and highly recommended him as being the best …Ruby underwent surgery to repair her injury and recently had her staples out and is on the road to full recovery..our total experience with Dr Crouch and his team has been very positive. They are exceptional professionals who obviously care a great deal about their patients..I cannot say enough about the friendly and supportive treatment we received there…"

"Dr. Crouch and his team are nothing short of exceptional. They helped us in an emergency situation with our Australian shepherd puppy after she was attacked by another dog. Her leg was broken in two places and Dr. Crouch made sure he got her taken care of, even when they had no appointments available. He was extremely innovative with the repairs she needed done, and my husband and I are so happy to report that she is running and jumping, and living her life like a puppy should. She was not in any pain during her recovery that she showed and Dr. Crouch’s office made many on the spot calls to take care of her cast while she was healing. My husband and I cannot tell them thank you enough. We are forever grateful."
