Extremely happy with the results on our pup Signey. She has first surgery on Dec 23, 2025 and everything went great. She just had second surgery on other rear knee on April 23 and so far doing great. I would also like to thank Dr. Helmers and her great staff at Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital for their commitment to keep Signey going.

Dr. Wardlaw came highly recommended by my Vet, Dr. Chip, who said she’s the very best in this field. My dog had FHO surgery 2 weeks ago and it was highly successful. She was walking immediately following surgery. All my fears were put to rest and we are looking forward to getting the other hip done in the coming months. Gateway has an awesome support team in place. They also have a website that has all the info you will need for post op care, and a page where you can upload videos and photos on progress or concerns.

Dr Wardlaw and her team are amazing! My dog Dolly had bilateral MPL surgery March 5th and the entire process has been so smooth. They have reached out to check in on us multiple times, they respond to my messages quickly and it is obvious that they care for Dolly like she is one of their own. I highly recommend Dr Wardlaw if your pet is being referred to an Orthopedic Surgeon.

Dr. Wardlaw’s surgical skills are truly remarkable, ensuring that Daisy’s procedure went smoothly and efficiently. Dr. Wardlaw and the team at Heartland Veterinary Hospital took the time to explain the process thoroughly, addressing all our concerns and keeping us informed every step of the way. It was evident that they prioritized Daisy’s comfort and well-being throughout her recovery.

We were especially impressed with the level of personalized attention Daisy received. The staff’s gentle handling and genuine care helped her feel at ease, even in an unfamiliar environment. Their follow-up care was equally impressive, ensuring that Daisy’s recovery was progressing as expected.

Thanks to Gateway Veterinary Surgery, and Heartland Veterinary Hospital, Daisy is on her way to regaining full mobility and enjoying her happy, active life once again. We are incredibly grateful for their expertise and dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of veterinary surgical care.

Dr. Wardlaw is amazing! She did a TPLO surgery on my precious Mocha’s knee and it was very successful-Mocha is walking and moving so much better after the surgery that our hearts are bursting with gratitude and joy! We highly recommend Dr. Wardlaw and the team without hesitation!!

We consulted with Dr. Wardlaw after getting some confusing (and potentially expensive) advice from another orthopedic vet. She clearly summarized the situation in terms we could understand and gave us an approach to care that we can feel good about. Tango says thank you!!

Dr. Wardlaw and her surgical team are fantastic!! She is such a skilled surgeon, and we are so fortunate to have her available to come perform the surgery in our regular vet clinic. My dog’s TPLO went beautifully and he already feels so much better!!
