REFERRAL SPECIALTY CARE
The AERC provides a variety of specialty services as outlined below. If your primary care veterinarian refers your pet to the AERC to see a specialist, we will need your pet’s medical records, including history, lab work, diagnostic images, etc., so that our specialist(s) can review your pet’s file prior to your arrival. Your veterinarian may fax or email medical records and radiographs.
In addition, you may be contacted regarding preparing for your appointment, including receiving a registration packet. We will always provide you with a cost estimate based on our team’s recommendations. While your pet is in our care, we will communicate with you frequently, both before, during and after any procedures.
Please call, or have your veterinarian call, to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists in the areas listed below. It is our pleasure to serve you and your pet and to work with your veterinarian. Contact us at any time if you have questions!
