Geoffrey N. Clark, DVM, Diplomate, ACVS - Veterinary Surgery of New England
Dr. Clark operates a mobile surgical practice and comes into our hospital to perform orthopedic procedures such as leg fractures and cruciate ligament tear repairs. Being a mobile surgeon he eliminates the need for patients who would otherwise need to travel for a referral. He's also one of the best orthopedic surgeons in New Hampshire.

Dr. Clark offers laser surgery techniques for procedures such as stenotic nares, soft palate resections and everted saccules (on some of the smaller, brachycephalic breeds like Pugs or Bulldogs). Dr. Clark has performed several ear resection cases at LSAH (dogs or cats that have chronic ear infections). He can do more extensive surgeries than Dr. Jen. If there is a necessary surgery that is more complicated than Dr. Jen feels comfortable handling, we call Dr. Clark, a Board Certified Surgeon.

Dr. Clark is married and has two daughters, Olivia and Juliette.
