Referrals
As well as our first opinion ambulatory practice we also offer a referral service for other veterinary surgeons. Good practice dictates that the horses should be referred by the veterinary surgeon treating the horse. Horse owners who contact us directly will be asked to discuss referral with their own veterinary surgeon before an appointment can be made. Once a case is referred, we will discuss the case and make a plan of investigation, including likely costs, with both the owner and the referring veterinary surgeon.
Vets wishing to refer a case can either contact reception on 01684 592099 or email the practice.
Second Opinions
We also act as second opinion vets when appropriate. Horse owners seeking a second opinion should approach their horse’s vet at the same time as they contact us. For ethical reasons, and in best interests of the horse, we will always contact the primary treating vet to discuss the case.
There are times where our clients may wish to seek a second opinion and we are more than happy to arrange for another of our vets to do this for you. Similarly, should you wish for a second opinion or referral to another practice then please contact reception so that we may organise transfer of clinical history and relevant diagnostic images.
