Our goal is to provide a smooth transition of care for both you and your client.

We understand that entrusting your patients to another veterinarian is an important decision and are pleased that you wish to partner with us. We are here to enhance your own primary care services by assisting with emergency/urgent care cases, and by providing specialty care. Be assured that we are committed to working together to design a comprehensive treatment plan for your patients, and that you will be kept updated on their progress at all times. We strive to be a valuable resource to both you and your clients.

We do not offer general practice services and make every effort to direct your client and patient back to you for follow up care. If wish to discuss your patient’s case prior to referral, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Appointments and Referrals

PATIENT TRANSFERS AND REFERRALS

As a referring veterinarian, you can transfer your patients directly to us from your hospital, direct them here from home, or provide them with our contact information should they need after-hours care. If you require an estimate for your client prior to transfer, please call us; a team member will need to discuss case details to provide an accurate estimate.

If you are referring a patient for an ongoing or acute medical condition, please call and speak with one of our doctors about the case before the patient’s arrival to ensure the best service for your client.

PATIENT APPOINTMENTS

You or your client can schedule appointments directly with any service.

If you have a patient that requires immediate care from one of our specialty services and there is no same-day appointment available, they will be admitted through our emergency service. Our emergency team will initiate treatment and facilitate the transfer of the patient to the appropriate service for ongoing care.
