Nothing is more rewarding than helping short-nosed dogs breathe & live better lives. Every dog deserves that chance. I’m honored to teach veterinarians across the country how my minimally invasive laser techniques make this possible. Join me in Las Vegas at the 2026 Veterinary Laser Surgery Symposium May 15-16, where I’ll share my story, receive [...]
Imagine every breath you take is blocked—but what if we could change that in one life-changing moment? Louie went from blocked airways to breathing & thriving—thanks to our minimally invasive laser surgery solution for this animal welfare issue. With laser surgery, there’s less bleeding (seals blood vessels), less pain (seals nerve endings), less swelling (seals [...]
When it comes to BOAS, early recognition is key. First, LISTEN carefully for the sounds—like snoring, gasping, grunting, or struggling to breathe—& seek professional help ASAP. At Boca Midtowne Animal Hospital, our expert team provides minimally invasive corrective surgery. We remove the elongated soft palate & widen the nostrils (ala-vestibuloplasty) to help dogs like Mowgli [...]
Flashback from 2002 to 2026, excited for what’s yet to come.
Gator the Pit Bull got his breath back thanks to minimally invasive laser surgery & Vetscalpel technology. We corrected his airways with a laser assisted Ala Vestibuloplasty & Staphylectomy —opening his nose & throat. Any breed can face airway struggles, so early recognition & correction means a happier, healthier life!

The first breath after BOAS laser surgery give our entire team a sense of relief. Before our eyes we witness dogs like Cosimo go from struggling to [...]
When your pup can’t breathe, every moment is heartbreaking. That was Bruno the 5-year-old Frenchie—until BOAS laser surgery gave him a new life. Now he’s thriving. If your dog struggles to breathe, early action can bring that joy back—don’t wait!
Kiwi the husky had a fast-growing lump on the head, easily irritated. Thanks to digital cytology, we got immediate results confirming it was a benign basal cell tumor later confirmed on pathology as a trichoblastoma. We acted quickly with laser surgery. With the precise VetScalpel laser, we removed the lump with minimal bleeding & trauma, [...]
Elsa’s airways were blocked. With gentle laser surgery, we cleared her nose & throat—no sutures, no mess. Just hours later, Elsa took her first easy breaths. This is why early action matters. This is breathing bliss.
Let’s connect some dots with laser to help Cosworth breathe! Cosworth once struggled to catch his air—his nose too tight, his nostrils unfair. With laser dots placed so precise, we widened his airway—oh, what a delight! Alar folds gone with minimal bleed, our laser met every need. With pet parents there, we eased his fear, [...]
