Costs:

The consultation cost is $120 from Jan 2011. This may increase as time progresses.


Consultations over the phone, or by email, may also be provided between surgery consultations and have no charge for in house clients. However these do not replace in surgery consultations and are only available for people who are having on going treatment for their animal.

No new clients can be treated by phone or e mail due to veterinary regulation by the vet surgeons board unless there are special circumstances e.g., they are far away, cannot travel, or a referred by a consulting vet.

Consultations usually take 30 minutes, although the first consultation is often longer.


Cancellations:

We request that cancellation of appointments be made at least 24 business hours before the due date. As we are usually booked well in advance, this will enable us to allocate your appointment to a waiting client. We appreciate your care and consideration in this matter.


Waiting Time:

I understand your time is valuable and endeavor to adhere to the appointment schedule. However, as I am committed to providing a comprehensive professional service to all clients, appointments often continue beyond the scheduled time. I recommend that you book adequate time and allow for delays with regards to other engagements after your clinic appointment. Should your time commitments be pressing, please ring to check whether the vet is running on time before attending.
