Collaboration & Communication

We operate as an extension of the family veterinarian, so once the patient is under our care, we will confer with you on any questions that we may have to ensure the patient receives appropriate care. We will continue to maintain contact with you until the patient is recovered and can be transferred back to your care. At that time, we will transfer updated medical records and radiographs back so that your records are complete. Throughout the referral process, we maintain open lines of communication.

Transferring a Patient

If a patient requires overnight care after a specialty procedure, we automatically transfer that patient to our ICU team. The referring veterinarian has the option to transfer the patient to his/her care upon request. Our specialty and emergency teams work very closely to ensure a seamless quality of care for all patients.

In evaluating your patients, we gladly provide free telephone consultations. Our specialists will call you to discuss the case after evaluation, upon request.
