Sending your patient to us:

Our emergency clinicians always appreciate a phone call from the attending veterinarian prior to transferring a patient so our critical care team can customize a treatment plan, designed to suit your patient’s and client’s needs. This allows us to have direct communication and input from you prior to your client’s arrival.

Our specialty team will review your submitted electronic referral form and then give you a call to set up the next available appointment for your specified specialty referral request. If you are unable to attach pertinent diagnostics, records, and imaging, please send a copy with your client.

Please fill out the electronic referral forms below to pre-book your internal medicine & outpatient ultrasound appointments. One of our specialty team members will reach out to your client to schedule an appointment once we receive your referral form.
