Amazing care for our hospital!
Dr Nowicki has been providing amazing care for our hospital for over a year. He has been very accessible for many orthopedic procedures, getting patients back to the road of recovery within 1 week.
He has even been able to come in same day and help our staff doctors with some emergency surgeries.
His medicine, patient care and client relations are top notch.
Another huge benefit of working with Dr Nowicki is he is extremely enjoyable for the team to work with. He is professional, kind, and Dr Nowicki takes the time to teach team members new things and gives them opportunities to learn and grow.
We look forward to continuing working with Dr Nowicki for years to come.

Surgical Care with Compassion and Accessibility
The high-quality services Dr. Nowicki provides are unmatched. He provides accessibility to procedures many of our clients would otherwise be unable to pursue for their pets. These pets are able to get the care they need in the familiar environment of their regular veterinary clinic. Their owners are able to have confidence in the surgeon through the relationship they have built with the clinic’s staff. Dr. Nowicki is personable and calms the anxiety of owners on the morning of surgery with open dialogue about the plan for their pet. He is always conscious to follow up with owners after surgery. He relays the recovery plan and is available for follow-up questions. Dr. Nowicki is generous with his knowledge and happy to teach an unfamiliar technique or explain why he has chosen the procedure as the best fit for the pet. He has mastered the skill of efficiency while maintaining close attention to detail. We can confidently recommend Dr Nowicki as a skilled, compassionate, thorough surgeon that is a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Nowicki helped us in an emergency
Dr Nowicki helped us in an emergency situation with a dog with a dislocated elbow.
Dr Nowicki was able to get it put back in place without opening her up and very quickly post injury.
We were impressed with his skills and bedside manner. He made sure she wasn’t in pain and created a post-surgery plan for our normal veterinarian to follow post op. He also checked in with us for the following month.
We highly recommend Dr. Nowicki. Our girl is back to 100% and without Dr. Nowicki she wouldn’t have recovered this well.

Dedicated, Skilled, and Thoughtful Surgical Care
Dr. Nowicki has top-notch rapport with both owner and patient clients! We were struggling with GI related issues in our geriatric 12-year old Pomeranian-Chihuahua with unclear diagnostics. When correlating with Dr. Nowicki, his wheels started turning immediately and he helped us develop a new rule-out list and treatment plan that lead us down the road of an abdominal exploratory and ultimately cholecystectomy. Dr. Nowicki clearly communicated his logical thought process and demonstrated his 5-star experienced surgical skills on our little girl. Post-op recovery went smoothly and Dr. Nowicki was very attentive to patient care, pain-management, and follow-up communications. Thanks to working with Dr. Nowicki, our girl’s symptoms dramatically improved and we were able to appreciate another 3+ years of quality life with her.
