What to expect
-
Fill out the New Patient Form that can be found under the New Patients tab.
As a courtesy to our other patients, if you need to change your appointment time, please let us know at least 24 hours prior to your visit.
If your pet is having a surgery, ultrasound or endoscopic procedure, please do not feed your pet after midnight and do not let them drink water after 6 am the morning of their procedure.
Prior to your appointment -
Please bring any medications your pet is currently taking, both over-the-counter and prescribed.
If your pet may stay for diagnostics or surgery and they are on a prescription or special diet, please bring enough food for at least TWO meals.
We do carry several premium over-the-counter diets for hospitalized patients if you choose not to bring food for your pet.
The day of your appointment -
Your pet’s weight will be assessed on arrival and a physical examination will be performed. Any case history, lab work, and/or radiographs sent from your pet’s primary care veterinarian will be reviewed.
The specialist will then discuss their findings with you and together, we will come up with a treatment plan that is best for both you and your pet. An estimate for the treatment plan will then be shared with you for review.
Expectations for your appointment -
Upon completion of your dog or cat’s consultation, diagnostic procedure or surgery, your dog or cat’s primary care veterinarian will be contacted with a complete written report regarding the care and management of your dog or cat.
Prior to your dog or cat’s discharge from our hospital, a member of our medical team will review any discharge instructions with you and answer any questions you may have. Your invoice will also be reviewed at this time.
