Your Appointment
Appointment Information
Patients are referred to Veterinary Referral Surgical Practice by their family veterinarian. Prior to your visit, your veterinarian will have provided our staff with complete referral information. The referral form describes your pet's problem, lists medications that your pet is taking and includes all relevant diagnostic and laboratory test results.
Once we have received this information, we can schedule your pet's appointment. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please give us a 24-hour notice. We can always reschedule your appointment.

Appointment Day
Be sure to bring all relevant information, including x-rays, blood test results, and medications that your pet is taking.
Please arrive 20 minutes early to complete information for your pet's medical record.
Please have your pet controlled on a leash or in a carrier.
Please do not feed your pet for 12 hours prior to your appointment (except for very young animals, animals with diabetes or as directed otherwise), as sediation may be required for diagnostic or surgical procedures. However, you may give your pet water. Continue your pet's normal medication schedule and bring all medications with you. When possible, please withhold non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, as they may mask symptoms.
When You Arrive
After you check in with the receptionist, the veterinarian will meet with you and your pet. A physical examination will be performed on your pet, a complete medical history will be taken and your pet's condition will be evaluated. The veterinarian may also perform additional examinations or diagnostic tests to assist in making the diagnosis.
At this point our medical team will discuss your pet's treatment options. Together we will agree which treatment plan best fits you and your pet.
