Surgery Appointments -- Dr. Macy sees patients for consultation in scheduled appointments Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Initial appointments are 60 minutes in length to allow a thorough examination of your pet. Progress exams are generally 30 minutes in length. For all initial appointments, please bring all medical records, lab work, x-rays, and medications with you.
For emergencies and special needs, please call our referral coordinator for appointment availability. Emergencies can be accommodated on a case by case basis. If you have a busy schedule, we may be able to assist you by admitting your pet for the day (there is an additional fee for this service).
The surgery team performs surgery Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons, and all day on Wednesday. Dr. Macy generally returns phone calls in the afternoon, after surgery for the day is complete.
If your pet is hospitalized, you are welcome to visit in most cases. Your pet's doctor may recommend that you not visit in some cases, due to the needs and comfort of your pet. If your doctor has determined that it is in your pet's best interest to visit, please call us to set up a convenient time so that our ICU may accommodate you more comfortably.
