Standard Consultations
- No formal referral paperwork is required—pet owners may schedule a consultation directly by booking online or calling us at 925-298-3855.
- Please send all medical records, including any diagnostics performed, prior to the appointment to: info@theneurovet.com.
For Emergent Cases:
- A neurologist is on-site Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, but we are able to accept patients at any time, including overnight and Sundays. Our overnight and Sunday doctors can consult with our on-call neurologist as needed. For emergent cases, our neurologist is available on Sundays for MRI and/or surgery.
- We strongly recommend calling ahead to help us prepare and ensure we can accommodate your patient as efficiently as possible.
- As we are a neurology-only hospital, if it is determined that the patient’s condition is not neurologically in origin, we may need to transfer them to a more appropriate facility. To help avoid this and minimize potential frustration for the owner, we recommend the following be completed prior to transfer:
- A thorough physical examination confirming the likelihood of neurological disease
- A minimum database (CBC and Chemistry panel), or equivalent, to help rule out systemic disease
- Any additional relevant diagnostics pertaining to that specific patient’s examination and presentation, especially when neurological disease is not obvious (e.g. orthopedic evaluation, AFAST)
- Prior to sending the patient, please send all medical records, including any diagnostics performed, to: info@theneurovet.com.
If you have any questions about a case or wish to refer an emergent patient, please contact us at 925-298-3855.
