Bringing Surgery to Your Practice, Patients, and Community.
About Dr. Nichole Danova
Dr. Danova’s practice is exclusively referral-based and surgically focused — a natural extension of the excellent primary care your team already provides, not a replacement for it.
Following her DVM, she completed years of additional post-graduate training — an internship, a research fellowship, and a multi-year surgical residency — before dedicating her practice exclusively to surgery. That depth of training lets her channel her full professional energy into the operating room: studying biomechanics, refining hemostatic techniques, and tracking the latest evidence-based outcomes in orthopedic and soft tissue reconstruction.
This singular focus means when she steps into your surgical suite, her mind is wholly attuned to the procedure at hand. She brings with her a meticulously curated inventory of highly specialized instrumentation and implants, ensuring that every incision is backed by the same level of preparedness found in tertiary referral hospitals — all without your patient ever leaving your care.
Dr. Danova operates on a fundamental principle: she is a guest in your hospital. She does not arrive with an entourage of unfamiliar staff or demand changes to your established protocols. Instead, she adapts to your rhythm — your monitoring equipment and your recovery room protocols. For pet parents, this means their animal never leaves the hands of the team they already know and trust — the same faces, the same facility, and the same care plan from admission through recovery.
Her approach is highly collaborative, coordinating seamlessly into your surgical schedule. When the surgery is complete, Dr. Danova provides a detailed operative report, written aftercare instructions, and a direct communication line for any post-operative questions.

Published Research & Orthopedic Specialty
Dr. Danova’s contributions to veterinary science extend beyond the operating table. Her published research has focused heavily on the mechanical properties of bone, fracture healing dynamics, and the stabilization of critical orthopedic injuries. This research background informs every TPLO, fracture repair, and joint stabilization she performs—she doesn’t just follow surgical protocols; she understands the physics behind why they work.
When you refer an orthopedic case to Dr. Danova, you are entrusting your patient to a surgeon who has scrutinized the literature, contributed to it, and applied those evidence-based principles to hundreds of successful outcomes.
