Referral Process

Your primary care veterinarian can initiate the referral process by contacting VMS and sending us the necessary information about your pet (client and patient information, patient history, diagnostic tests, and therapy) via fax or email. Pet owners can also directly request an appointment for internal medicine or cardiology.

Each new visit begins by meeting with the client(s) and their pet to obtain a complete history of the problem and perform an in-depth physical examination.

The veterinary specialist then makes recommendations for further diagnostic tests and treatment options.

Our areas of expertise include digestive diseases (gastrointestinal tract and pancreas), liver disease, endocrinology (hormonal illness), cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, kidney/urinary tract diseases, hematology (blood disorders), infectious diseases, and some types of neoplasia (cancer).

Located within The Animal Emergency Hospital and Veterinary Specialty Center, we also work closely with the other specialties to offer you and your pet the best care available. Other services include:
