Referral Process

Maintaining excellent communication and strong relationships with our referring veterinarians is a priority. Our goal is to provide a smooth transition of care for both you and your client.

We understand that entrusting your patients to another veterinarian is an important decision and are pleased that you wish to partner with us. We are here to enhance your own primary care services by assisting with emergency/urgent care cases on a 24-hour basis, and by providing specialty care. Be assured that we are committed to working together to design a comprehensive treatment plan for your patients, and that you will be kept updated on their progress at all times. We strive to be a valuable resource to both you and your clients.

We do not offer general practice services and make every effort to direct your client and patient back to you for follow up care. If wish to discuss your patient’s case prior to referral, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Appointments and Referrals
Patient Transfers and Referrals

As a referring veterinarian, you can transfer your patients directly to us from your hospital, direct them here from home, or provide them with our contact information should they ever need after hours care for any new or preexisting conditions. Should you require an estimate for your client prior to transfer, we can provide one but ask that you call us directly so our emergency veterinarian can obtain the medical details necessary to provide a more accurate estimate.

If you are referring a patient for an ongoing or acute medical condition, please feel free to call and speak with one of our doctors about the case prior to the patient’s arrival to ensure the best service for your client. We also ask that you attach related patient records, labwork, or other results, in the referral form, or send them with the client.

Patient Appointments

You or your client can schedule appointments directly with any service.

If you have a patient that requires immediate care from one of our specialty services and there is no same day appointment availability, they will be admitted through our emergency service. Our emergency team will initiate treatment and facilitate the transfer of the patient to the appropriate service for ongoing care.

Patient Records and Inpatient Care
  • Our medical team will keep you informed of our mutual patient’s ongoing treatment plans, and can also provide phone updates at your request.
  • PESCM maintains an on site supply of blood products including whole blood (feline), packed red blood cells (canine), fresh frozen plasma, and immunoglobulin.
  • Our surgeon is on call 24 hours a day to provide advanced surgical support for our emergency service.

We hope to be a valuable resource to both you and your clients. We value and appreciate the trust you have placed in our team.
