Collaborative Team-Based Pet Care Is Better
At Oakland Veterinary Referral Services, we are home to more than twenty board-certified veterinary specialists and emergency veterinarians. As veterinary medicine has become more specialized and departmentalized, our doctors and staff work collaboratively across departments to give your pets the best care. Not only do we collaborate within the hospital, but we also work closely with you and your regular veterinarian to ensure everyone is on the same page about your pet’s treatment. Keep reading to find out why we think a collaborative team-based pet care approach is the best option for your pet’s health and wellness:
Multifocal Pet Care
Sometimes, pets have multiple ailments that might negatively affect their overall health. A multifocal approach means we can coordinate care for all of these issues without compartmentalizing care with each specialist team. Many conditions are resolved sooner and with fewer visits when we work together.
We can also offer complementary care during a visit to help make the most out of treatment. Pets with cancer, for example, can come to visit with our certified oncologist while also getting alternative therapies like acupuncture. Multifocal care helps build the strongest foundation for health.
End-to-End Pet Care Support
Our entire team is integral to our ability to offer comprehensive care for all the pets we see. From our board-certified veterinarians to our support staff, everyone has an important role to play in properly caring for your pets. Our doctors work closely with our skilled veterinary technician specialists, who also work closely with our office staff, to ensure your pet gets the necessary attention and care during a visit. This support filters through every aspect of your visit from the time you and your pet check in until you leave the hospital.
Access to Important Pet Medical History
Because we work so closely with you and your primary veterinarian, we can quickly get information about your pet’s medical history, which allows us to provide the best care. This information can help us get a clearer picture of your pet’s prior medical history, which can give us better clues about what is happening now.
Faster Diagnosis and Treatment Decisions
While we have advanced in-house diagnostic and imaging capabilities, they would mean nothing without our qualified team being able to interpret images and make quick diagnoses. With so many experts in so many different fields of veterinary medicine, we are able to better identify the problem and start brainstorming a solution with minimal time. This fast action can help your pet start getting fast care, which can improve the chances of a positive outcome.
Medical Collaboration for Pets
We love our team and their dedication to the pets we see. One of our favorite aspects of working in a collaborative care environment is when doctors and support staff from different specialties help each other. Whether someone needs advice on a condition or an extra pair of hands during surgery, we can provide it. We can offer care for practically any veterinary condition in one convenient location with team-based pet care that helps to ensure you and your pet feel safe and heard.
Whether your pet needs specialty or emergency care, OVRS is here for you. Our veterinary team takes advantage of our collaborative environment to provide the care you need when you need it. To learn more about our services or to request an appointment, please call (248) 33
