About VSC
VSC and the referring veterinarian work together to establish a diagnostic, surgical, and rehabilitative plan for each patient. Surgical procedures are performed in our new Surgery Center in Gates, NY.
How VSC works
If you would like to refer a patient or request a consultation please contact us.
The Process:
Referral of Patients for Surgery:
- Primary care DVM completes the surgery service referral form and submits to VSC team, along with pertinent medical records (including a clinical summary, radiographs, lab work, etc).
- Information is reviewed by the VSC team and determined if the case is appropriate for our service (we do not offer 24 hour care so complex or critical cases will be encouraged to seek care at a 24 hour care facility).
- Consultation is scheduled. A medical summary will be submitted to the primary care DVM the day of the consultation.
- If appropriate, surgery is scheduled.
Depending on the timing of surgery, we may ask primary care DVMs to dispense pre-anesthesia oral medications.
