What to Expect at a Veterinary Appointment
Knowing what you can expect at your first appointment with us will help to make the process much more pleasant for both you and your beloved pet.
Get Settled
We encourage all of our clients to arrive about 10 minutes early in order to fill out our New Patient Form. If you'd like to save some time, you can also complete the New Patient Form online in advance.
Meet Your Veterinarian
One of the members of our veterinary team will meet with you to review your pet's medical history and discuss any issues they may be experiencing. You can ask any questions you want, and we'll dedicate time to answering them.
Examination, Diagnosis & Treatment
Once your pet has been assessed, we will provide you with a diagnosis and options for treatment. Your veterinarian will work with you to determine a treatment plan for your pet.
After your visit with us, we will create a detailed report of our diagnosis of your pet, the discussion we had with you, your pet's treatment plan and any other important information. We'll keep this all on hand for whenever you may need it.
