Your First Visit

 On your first visit you will be checked in at the front desk and the receptionist, usually Sandra, will likely discuss the reason for your visit and prepare  the paperwork for a new client. If you'd like to save some time on your first visit, you can download our "new client" form, check it out, and bring it in with you so you don't have to fill it out when you  arrive at the hospital.

One of our exam rooms

You will be escorted to an exam room where your pet will be weighed and have his/her temperature taken by one of our veterinary assistants.
 

After a short wait, one of our doctors will come in to the room and perform a general exam. This exam involves many things: 1. reading your pet's record, 2. listening to your pet's heart and lungs, 3. feeling your pet's abdominal organs for abnormalities, 4. checking the color of mucus membranes, 5. examining the teeth and mouth, 6. examining the ears, 7. checking circulation, 8. examining the eyes, 9. checking the skin, and 10. examining the bones and muscles.

At this point, your visit will become more individualized. Care will proceed based on the needs of your pet, what we have found in the exam, and what your reason for coming to see us is.

After all care is completed any necessary medication will be prepared for you and sent out to the front desk, where you will once more see the receptionist, except this time on the way out. You will pay your bill,
pick up your medicines, and be on your way.
