How are Consultations made?
Appointments for examination and consultation with the surgeon or internist can be made by calling 805.339.2290. To be thorough and complete, the initial visit with the specialist may require 2-3 hours. Patients must be fasted (food withheld) the day of the initial visit. Water should not be withheld. Copies of the patient’s medical records, radiographs, electrocardiogram (EKG), and blood work should be brought for the examination. If your pet has been receiving any medication, bring the medication at the time of the initial consultation. Patients must be currently immunized and free of parasites.
