We will reach out to your referring veterinarian to request medical records. Please bring copies of any medical records, x-rays and current medications. Please bring the bottles with the prescription label.
Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology & Surgery Consults We recommend your pet arrive to the consultation on an empty stomach. We request your pet have no food after 10PM the night before the consultation. This allows for testing or procedures which require fasting to be performed on the same day of the consultation. Please continue to offer fresh drinking water at all times.
Dermatology Consults Please do not bathe your pet for 3 days before the appointment. Please do not clean your pet’s ears for 1 day before the appointment.
Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow for check-in and to give your pet extra time to become more comfortable at our hospital.
After your pet is checked in, the technician will take your pet to the exam room where their weight and vital signs (temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate) will be checked and a history will be obtained. The doctor will then review any medical records or x-rays provided by your family veterinarian and complete his/her exam of your pet. The doctor will discuss his/her findings and any recommended diagnostics or treatments. A treatment plan will be created and reviewed with you.
Please help yourself to a complimentary beverage and snack while waiting in our lobby. We have complimentary wifi available for our clients.
Full payment is required at the time of service. An estimate will be provided for any recommended diagnostics and/or treatments.
We accept cash, VISA, Mastercard, Discover, CareCredit and Scratchpay. Personal checks and American Express are not accepted. We gladly partner with CareCredit and Scratchpay to offer financing services to our clients. Please ask the team for more details.
We are happy to assist with submission of pet insurance claims to your pet’s insurance provider.
We provide a 10% discount for owners in military service.
