Follow Up Clinic

What is the Follow Up Clinic?

The Follow Up Clinic has expanded! We’re still only servicing established patients with a referral for chronic conditions, or conditions that need ongoing management. While having a family veterinarian to manage these concerns is still recommended, the Follow Up Clinic is an appointment based clinic that allows for those who don’t have access to a regular provider.

After August 1st, we will additionally offer mass removal assessments, orthopedic surgery assessments (for previously diagnosed issues), and end of life/quality of life consultations for both new and existing clients.

Surgical Consultations: Either must apply to sign up for a Follow Up Clinic visit for a surgical consultation.

1. You are looking to determine how much a mass removal would be, or you would like to do the preanesthetic bloodwork/exam needed to schedule the surgery
2. You are looking for a quote on an orthopedic surgery based on a diagnosed issue (please bring all x-rays and tests with you to your pets visit, or submit their records online).

(For spay/neuter assessments, please sign up for our Preventative Care Clinic. For all other surgical inquiries, please sign up for our Urgent Care Clinic)

Quality of Life Concerns:

1. This is for clients who are considering euthanasia, but aren’t sure if its time or if there are other options which might be feasible to pursue.

Examples:

• Your pet was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism about a year ago, and you need their yearly bloodwork to get more medication.
• Your pet was diagnosed with Diabetes last week, is doing well on their current dose of insulin, and you need more education on how to manage their condition and to recheck their labs.
• Your pet has been seen for arthritis in the past at Access Veterinary Care, but you’re having trouble consistently administering their NSAID tablets, and they still seem a bit stiff. You’d like to learn about other medication and treatment options.
