Emergency & Specialist Referrals
Our experienced team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians provide many services at our clinic, ranging from routine to advanced procedures. Although we handle the majority of your pet’s medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer patients to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial.
When Your Pet Needs Care Outside Our Hours
We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 12 pm, and closed Sunday. We can often fit in same-day urgent appointments during those hours.
If you are having a true medical emergency with your pet, taking them to an emergency facility is recommended. Go directly — do not wait for us to open.
Why We Refer
Board-certified specialists, such as surgeons, oncologists, ophthalmologists, and neurologists, have extensive experience and training in a particular area of veterinary medicine or surgery. Specialty clinics and university-affiliated referral centers have specialized equipment to perform procedures that are not routinely performed by general veterinary practitioners.
We make referral decisions because we want to ensure that our patients receive the highest standard of care and the best possible outcome. Be assured that when we refer a patient to another hospital, we stay involved with their care, consulting with the treating specialist and often providing any needed follow-up care and rehabilitation.
