Referring Veterinarian Information

The Veterinary Health Center welcomes companion animal, equine and food animal referral cases from private veterinarians. Either the veterinarian or the client may call to schedule an appointment. Veterinarians should provide a VHC referral form (VHC Wentzville form) summarizing the animal’s clinical signs and the diagnostic procedures and/or treatments performed prior to referral. Veterinarians will be contacted both by telephone (within 24 hours) and by letter (within one week of the animal’s discharge). Learn more about the referral process.

Faculty also are available to consult by telephone with veterinarians regarding the care of animals that have not been evaluated at the VHC.

In order to serve you and your clients better, we are pleased to announce our new survey for referring veterinarians. This survey allows you to provide feedback specific for each referral experience. It is an ongoing tool that you may utilize as many times as you would like. The survey can be partially completed if your time is limited.

Responses will be delivered to our referring veterinarian coordinator and distributed according to the service to which you referred your client and patient. If you prefer to speak directly to us, do not have computer access or would like a paper copy of the survey, please call 866-895-7267.

Thank you again for your tremendous support. We are honored to be a part of your veterinary health care team!
