Mission Veterinary Emergency & Specialty
Referring Veterinarians
We take a collaborative approach to patient care and will consult with you, the referring veterinarian and your client, the pet owner. We have assembled an incredible team of outstanding, board-certified and specially-trained veterinarians multi-specialty areas including cardiology, oncology, diagnostic imaging, emergency/critical care, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and surgery -- all working together as a cohesive team.
What to expect from us:
Admission of your transferring patient will be prioritized in an attempt to minimize his/her wait time in our lobby. Life threatening and critically ill patients who enter our building after your patient may be treated sooner as per the discretion of our attending veterinarians.
We do not provide routine veterinary services such as vaccinations, heartworm medication, flea and tick preventative, or prescription food refills to your clients and patients.
We will call you if we have questions that pertain to your hospitalized patient(s). We strive to keep you involved by direct communication to ensure a smooth transition back to your hospital when you are available.
We will provide your client with home care instructions at the time of the patient’s discharge. A full copy of their medical record will be emailed to them if the client prefers.
When your client leaves our care your office will receive a fax or email, based on your preference, with your patient’s medical record and diagnostic results.
For more information about the services we offer, please visit our pet emergency and critical care page.
What to Expect When Transferring Your Patient
We appreciate a phone call from the attending veterinarian prior to transferring your patient so our veterinarian can work with you to development the appropriate treatment plan designed to suit your patient’s and client’s needs. This allows us to have direct communication and input from you prior to your client’s arrival.
Please send the following items with your client, if applicable:
Patient Referral form
Copy of the recent medical record with pertinent lab results
Copy of radiographs and/or diagnostics
