It is our goal to accomodate all of our patients and their owners when they need us. We understand that there will be circumstances in which an appointment time may not be available and our clients may feel that thier pet needs to be seen that day for a concerning medical condition. If this is the case we offer the following options:

1. If it is not an emergency, but you feel your pet needs to be evaluated, your pet may be "dropped-off" at the clinic to be evaluated at the first available opportunity by a doctor on duty. We will have you fill out a history form and request that you leave a number where you can be contacted for further questions and updates.
   
   
2. Occasionally "after-hours" appointments can be made after a doctor's shift at her discretion. These appointments are reserved for non-emergencies, but cases that need to be evaluated the same day in the owner's presence. There is an additional charge for this appointment.
   
   
3. If you feel your pet needs to be evaluated immediately, an emergency appointment can be made. The doctor will stop seeing regular appointments to evaluate and stabilize your pet, and start initiating treatment as necessary. There is an emergency visit charge in addition to the examination fee.

When a client elects to drop their pet off for evaluation for a medical problem, we ask that our clients be patient and they WILL be contacted by a doctor at the first given opportunity to discuss their pet's condition and treatment recommndations.
