What to expect from your visit:

1. At the time of arrival, you will be greeted with prompt, courteous and professional assistance from our receptionist. You will be required to complete documentation that is vital for your visit. At this time your pet will also be triaged (assessed) by our staff.
2. If your pet’s condition requires immediate intervention your pet will be escorted to the treatment area to be assessed by the doctor. At this time the staff may ask for an approval of a Critical Care authorization form. This allows the doctor to initiate life-saving treatment as well as initial diagnostics.
3. Following a detailed exam of your pet, the doctor will meet with you to go over initial exam findings and the best course of treatment for your pet. At this time you will be presented with a treatment plan that outlines diagnostics, medications, treatments as well as cost.
