Hours of Operation:
Our staff is available to help you make your appointment Monday through Friday, from 8:00a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Emergency appointments are accepted at all hours and will be seen by the first available doctor, either in VESCONE Surgery or through VESCONE Emergency and Critical Care.

Appointments:
Appointments can be made by requesting a particular surgeon or will be scheduled on the first available time slot.

Preparing for your appointment:
Please bring any medical records, radiographic study, or other pertinent information with you to your appointment. This will help decrease your wait time. Please allot sufficient time for your appointment. The doctor often will ask you to wait while the results of some testing are accomplished so that he or she can speak with you about the recommended treatment options based on test results.

Please fast your pet prior to the appointment so that a blood sample can be drawn the day of your appointment if surgery is planned for later that afternoon or the following day.

Visitation policy for hospitalized patients:
Our usual visiting hours at VESCONE are from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. Visitation outside these hours can be arranged by speaking with the attending doctor. Visitation in the Intensive Care Unit is limited in duration and must be arranged in coordination with the ICU staff.

What to expect when your pet is hospitalized:
Clients will be contacted daily to provide information about their pets. Please be sure to provide appropriate phone number information and times when it is best to reach you.
