To schedule an appointment with us, you may either call our office in Bedford or request an appointment here. Please allow at least two days prior to visit if you are scheduling online. If you choose to schedule online, you will be notified of availability.
If you are interested Extended Patient Comfort Exams, you may request one of these appointment types during scheduling. Both options are excellent for pets that are often more nervous around others. Our canine patients benefit from the comfort exams because they are given a little extra time to adjust to the excitement of their visit. We’ve found that a few minutes in our K-9 Athletic facility for free play often helps our anxious or overly excited patients calm down. Exams often run smoother when our patients have time to adjust to the new surroundings. Exam time is much more productive and enjoyable this way – it is a win-win for everyone!
Our doctors will make thorough, professional recommendations for treatment and if additional procedures are needed. We work to customize a plan that fits both you and your pet’s needs.
Scheduled surgery patients receive an appointment time for admission the morning of surgery. A technician will meet and discuss with you the details of the procedure, allowing you time to learn more and ask questions you may have. We recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork for all pets, which will be discussed during the admission process. During surgical procedures, patients are placed under gas anesthesia while monitored by a technician. All patients receive pain medication during procedures as well as for at home post-op care.
The majority of surgery patients will be discharged in the afternoon on surgery day. Occasionally, a patient will stay overnight depending on the surgical procedure. If a patient needs to stay overnight, this will be communicated with you prior to surgery and after surgery. You will receive a phone call after surgery has been completed and your pet is awake in recovery. Upon discharge from exams or on the day of discharge from surgery, you will receive an itemized list of charges along with discharge instructions. Follow ups may be necessary and scheduled in advance.
Physical therapy appointments are designed around each patient’s current condition. Initial consultations take approximately an hour which includes an exam, explaining exercises to do at home, a brief session in the underwater treadmill and laser therapy depending on the patient’s needs and goals. Additional sessions are then customized based on the patient’s progress meaning they will vary in time length.
