Appointments
Your initial 60-minute exam is devoted to gathering history and physical findings. Following the exam, the doctor will help you understand your pet's problem and the options available to you. Recommendations are then made in regards to treatment options and to reach a diagnosis of your pet's condition. We will then notify your veterinarian of the findings so that they may include them in your pet's medical records.
