Referring Veterinarians

Gold Coast Veterinary Specialists value the trust you have placed in us to care for your patients. Our specialty hospital is designed to serve as an extension of your practice. We would be pleased to care for your referred patient.

While providing care for your patient at our hospital, we will promptly keep you abreast on the case and will encourage your clients to discuss their pet’s condition with you. We cannot, nor do we intend to, replace the important ongoing relationship and trust you have between you and your clients.

All clients referred to our facility will sign a waiver stating that we will not see that patient for routine wellness care. We will make sure an update and all medical records, including radiographs, are faxed or emailed to you immediately after we see the patient.

If it appears that a patient may require a complex surgery, endoscopy, or ultrasound, we will make every effort to contact you to discuss the case and determine your preferences for case management.

When referring a patient to us, if possible, please fax, email, or give the client the most recent medical records, radiographs, and any pertinent lab results.
