How long is a typical housecall visit?
The majority of Dr. Bendall’s housecall visits are between 1 to 2 hours for the first pet. This is 1-2 hours of face-to-face doctor time where all questions can be answered. Additional pets will take longer to examine but usually not by a straight multiplier. Expect up to 30 minutes per additional pet depending on services performed. The longest part of the visit is getting a complete history and discussing diagnostic and therapeutic options. To increase efficiency, we recommend having previous medical records available for review and refreshing your patient’s medical history in your mind prior to the housecall visit. Previous medical records can also be faxed/emailed to us in advance. Please visit the Contact Us page for additional information.
