in Surgical Excellence

(Hani M. Korani, DVM, DACVS-SA)

Dr. Hani M. Korani is a board-certified small animal surgeon dedicated to providing advanced surgical care with a collaborative and compassionate approach. Through his mobile practice, H&M VetSurg, he brings the expertise and capabilities of a specialty surgical center directly to your trusted family veterinary practice here in the Bay Area.

His mission is simple: to make specialist-level surgery accessible, less stressful for patients, and more integrated for primary care veterinarians, ensuring a seamless circle of care for every animal.

The Journey to Surgical Specialization

Dr. Korani’s path to becoming a surgical specialist was driven by a passion for the intricate mechanics of the body and the profound impact that skilled surgery can have on an animal’s quality of life.

He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from School of Veterinary Medicine Cairo University, Egypt. Following graduation, he completed a demanding one-year rotating internship in medicine and surgery at Tuskegee University Veterinary Teaching Hospital where he gained broad experience in all facets of veterinary care.

With a clear focus on surgery, Dr. Korani was then selected for a rigorous three-year surgical residency at North Carolina State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. This intensive program provided him with advanced training in orthopedic, soft tissue, neurologic, and oncologic surgery under the mentorship of world-renowned specialists.

Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Korani successfully passed the rigorous examination to become a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (DACVS). This board certification represents the highest level of specialization in the field, a distinction held by only a small percentage of veterinarians. After working in large specialty hospitals, he founded H&M VetSurg to bring that same level of care to a more personal, collaborative setting.

Beyond the Operating Time

When not in surgery, Dr. Korani is dedicated to his family and loves spending his time with his two young children. He stays active and focused by running the beautiful trails throughout the Bay Area and maintaining a consistent routine at the gym. This commitment to personal discipline and well-being ensures he always brings the sharp focus and steady hand required for complex surgical procedures. His connection to his own family reinforces his deep understanding of the bond you share with yours.
