Scheduling

We are a referral-only practice and will only schedule after your pet has been evaluated by your primary veterinarian or an emergency clinic.

X-rays are required for fractures and forelimb lameness to ensure referral is appropriate.

Please call to schedule once the referral has been submitted.

New Client paperwork will be emailed up to 1 week prior to the appointment. Please read and fill-out this document prior to the appointment

We have limited availability to offer same-day surgery for certain procedures and circumstances. If this is desired, please let us know at the time of scheduling.

If the New Client paperwork was not filled out, please arrive a few minutes before the scheduled time to complete this form.

Once you arrive, please remain in your vehicle and give us a call. We continue to be curbside, weather permitting, to ensure our staff remains healthy.

A nurse will come out to ask a few history questions then take your pet inside for examination.

Following the exam, the surgeon will come out to discuss findings, options, and recommendations.

Postoperative management will be explained and long-term management with supplements will be discussed.

If surgery is elected, scheduling will be coordinated following the appointment.
