Let's talk about appointment types that we offer!
▪️Wellness Exam: A full appointment for a patient who has no health concerns. This exam is required once a year to maintain a pet/vet relationship.
▪️Office Calls: An appointment designed to look at a targeted health issue. These often are extended appointments to allow time for full diagnostics.
▪️Technician Appointment: Our vet techs see appointments for those who are up to date on their wellness. They can administer vaccines, other medications, run bloodwork, trim nails, and other services.
▪️Urgent Care: These are issues that can't wait until our next available appointment. We are working them into an already full schedule, so it may be a bit longer of a wait.
