Referrals

Referral Philosophy

We would like to explain how we would like to work in partnership with you and your client's to help diagnose and treat their pet's eye problems.

We believe that we work as part of a three-way partnership with you and your client's to help diagnose and treat their pet's eye conditions.

Our goal is to provide you and your client's with great service to ensure that your referral is an excellent experience for both of you.

We understand that good communication is of the utmost importance in maintaining a great relationship and providing the best possible care of your client's pets.

We will ensure that we provide you with up to date referral information the same day your client's pet is seem by us.

To help your client's understand about the eye problem's their pet has, we will undertake to spend time explaining this to them and providing understandable information in the discharges.

Whenever possible, we will involve you in performing any additional diagnostic testing such as blood-work and x-rays. We will forward pathology results to you. This will ensure that you have the most up to date information on your patient's health.

We welcome feedback (bouquets as well) on how we are providing you and your client's with specialist eye care services and look forward to working with you.
