Appointments

For your pet’s first internal medicine visit, allow yourself at least an hour for the consultation. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment to allow time to complete some paperwork. A technician will guide you to an exam room. A specialist will complete a thorough exam on your pet, review records from your referring veterinarian, and discuss treatment options with you. If we can begin diagnostic testing that day, you may need to leave your pet with us for the afternoon. During the consultation, the doctor will be able to provide you with an estimate for any additional testing or treatment beyond the consultation fee.
