We have a strong referral culture. We are extremely lucky to be within easy reach of some excellent referral services with very talented people.
We can access referrals for internal medicine, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology and advanced imaging – specialist radiographic techniques, ultrasonography and even access to CAT scanning.
Most of these referrals can be set up within 24 to 48 hours and in the case of emergencies in an even shorter time frame.
We actively refer. It is high on our treatment plan because ultimately we want the best possible outcome for both you and your pet.
