We Have a Genuine Love for Animals

Dr. Chris Horstman, the owner and Chief of Staff for the Sirius Veterinary Orthopedic Center is a native Nebraskan. He discovered his love for animals when visiting family farms as a child. He quickly knew he was destined to become a veterinarian. After receiving a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Kansas State University he pursued advanced training in small animal surgery and became board certified in 2007. He spent nearly 10 years at the Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center as a staff surgeon. He helped expand the practice from a three-surgeon facility to a multi-specialty center with over 150 staff members. In 2014, he achieved an MBA through the University of Phoenix. Today, he is using his training, education, and experience to build an expert team of superior orthopedic professionals at the Sirius Veterinary Orthopedic Center.

While our name and logo are distinctive, we provide orthopedic services for cats and a variety of other four-legged small animals. We also work with Five Elements Veterinary Alternatives to provide a variety of rehabilitation services for small animals.
