Waiting times for consultations in Wellington are currently about 6 weeks. We recommend veterinarians who refer to our Wellington clinic consider using our remote consultation service. We can offer a much quicker turnaround and book patients in directly for surgery/diagnostics as appropriate. For more information on this service see www.peteyecare.co.nz/remoteconsults

We have some exciting changes coming up on a business and personal level, which will impact our referral service going forwards.
For family reasons, Kellam and Amy have decided to relocate to the Waikato, so from September onwards The Referral Centre in Hamilton will be the main home base for Pet Eye Care!

We will continue to provide a regular referral service in Wellington. Petra has now completed the supervised training portion of her residency and will continue to provide a consulting and surgical service at Carevets Kilbirnie clinic. Kellam will regularly travel to Wellington to operate on patients.

The main impact of this change will be a reduced number of consultation appointments available in Wellington. To help alleviate excessively long wait times we recommend veterinarians use our remote consultation service. Further information can be found at www.peteyecare.co.nz/remoteconsults

We currently have longer than usual waiting times for both appointments and emails.
A close family bereavement and now covid have lead to a back log of work. We’re doing the best we can, but please expect a 5-7 day wait on email communications, and around 4 weeks for non urgent appointments. Thanks for your patience.

Our new website is now live! Check it out at www.peteyecare.co.nz

We also have a new email address for referrals and other enquiries [email protected]

We will continue to monitor the old email address for a few more months, but please update our details in your contact lists when you get the chance.

We use a variety of equipment to give us the correct lighting and magnification to fully examine all parts of the eye, and then perform additional tests to check out any areas of concern.
