INFORMATION FOR REFERRING VETERINARIANS:
We appreciate your confidence and look forward to working with you to provide your patients with optimum care.
In an effort to streamline the referral process, please complete a Records Request Form and return to us along with the patient's detailed surgery reports, diagnostic imaging results and all history notes pertaining to their diagnosis. Please be sure to include a diagnosis via histopathology or cytology and all relavant laboratory results.
We also understand that waiting for answers to the questions that arise after a diagnosis of cancer can result in sleepless nights for your clients. Both Dr. Gillings and Dr. Meleo offer phone consults for your cases. Please complete a Phone Consult Request Form and return to us. Again, please be sure to include a diagnosis via histopathology or cytology and all relavant laboratory results, as well as any particular questions you or your clients have about this case. The doctor or her technician will call you with information regarding the case and answers to your questions within 3 business days of receiving the request.
Often, we rely on you, the primary care veterinarian, to perform routine blood draws and some physical examinations in between visits to our office. Most frequently, we will ask you to run a CBC and request that the laboratory also fax us the results. If you have any questions about what bloodwork we need, please do not hesitate to call us.
What happens first? AN INITIAL CONSULTATION
We schedule one full hour for your initial consultation though we do ask that you check-in 15 minutes early to complete the required paperwork.
