VelVet Surgical Services

Thank you Dr. Nick for saving the life of our furry family member! Ellington is doing great because of you and our family is grateful for your expertise, care, and compassion for our little "Duke". My son has a variety of challenges and Ellington is his constant companion. Ellington had urinary blockages THREE TIMES during his 3 years on this planet and we were devastated every time it happened because we were so afraid we'd lose him. The third time you worked your magic with all of your expertise and skills and now Ellington is happy and healthy and his usual wonderful kitty self! Words really can't express our gratitude, but a very sincere THANK YOU from our family to you!

Dr. Velkov is an amazing surgeon! Not only are his surgical skills impeccable, he truly cares about each one of his patients. Thank you Dr. Nick for providing excellent care to our pets.

Dr. Nick is fantastic! He has been coming to the practice I work for in Naperville for many years to perform most of our orthopedic surgeries. He is reliable, knowledgeable, and thorough. I would not hesitate to have him work on any of my own animals (and he has in fact!), and am always recommending him to others!

It's hard to put in words how very grateful my family and I are for the help that we received from Dr. Nick! He is an absolute best at his work, being both an incredible surgeon and a compassionate person who loves to help anybody who's pet friend is in trouble. Our nine months old dog " managed" to tear off some part in his knee that left him in pain an not being able to use one of his hind legs at all. Immediately, I've contacted Banfield Animal Hospital where he has been receiving his regular care and they gave me an appointment date in 4 to 5 weeks!!! Luckily, we've heard about Dr. Nick Velkov. I've contacted him right away and thee days later he performed the surgery needed at Countryside Veterinary Center. Today, two weeks after the procedure, our dog is ready to run like before, despite the two pins in his knee! What else is there to say, but that this is a surgeon with "magic hands" and everone everyone will be glad to put the wellbeing of their pets in his professional care. Thanks again Dr. Nick and God bless you!

Dr.Nick is beyond amazing he helped me and my boy when no one else would!!!!!!! My dog is a year and a half old and had a chronic ear issue that was causing open sores and his great pain.... after many visits and different attempts to heal his ear sores my regular vet suggested I find someone to do a corrective surgery which would b an ear cropping so he wont have the sores no more.... I called everywhere and no one was willing to do his surgery until I found Dr.Nick and I feel he instantly took me seriously that I wasn't just looking for a cosmetic surgery my boy was in pain and I just needed someone to help him... a week after his visit with regular vet that suggested I find someone... here I sit with my boy recovering from his surgery... not only was Dr. Nick able to help him.... I was expecting him to have no ear left.... but he made his ears look soo amazing I will post pics once healed.... he looks like he got them done like it was planned like a puppy would.... I am sooo happy with Dr. Nick's willingness to help us and he also did a beautiful job on making his ears look good.... thank u sooooo much from the bottom of my heart for helping my boy when no one else would!!!!!!💕💕💕
