Referral Process.
Can I call the oncologist for a consultation on a case
to see if a referral is appropriate?
Yes. The specialists at VCG welcome calls and are happy to provide
information to our referring community.
How should I refer a patient?
We recommend that either your client contact us to set up
a consultation, or you may set up a consultation for your client by
providing us with necessary medical records. One of our client care
specialists will make sure we receive the appropriate information
prior to an appointment. VCG is also happy to provide brochures you
can distribute to your patients.
When should I refer a case?
Anytime a patient has, or may have, cancer.
How will I be updated?
A follow-up call is made to you after each new patient's first
consultation. A summary of the visit is also faxed after all
appointments. All lab work performed by Veterinary Cancer Group
will also be faxed to you once it's received, reviewed, and the
client has been contacted.
