Hours of operation are Monday – Sunday and 24-hour emergency service on holidays. The Emergency service can be reached at (727) 531-5752. Emergency Scheduling With The Specialists Certain cases require urgent medical or surgical evaluation. We always try to work daytime emergency cases into our receiving schedules whenever possible. However, our caseloads are high and there may not be an available appointment. Therefore, we ask that a veterinarian always call first and inform our receptionists that they have a case that requires urgent evaluation. If possible, we will arrange for the case to be seen that day by an attending specialist. If we are unable to see the case, we may arrange admission through our emergency service or we will suggest other area specialists that may be able to evaluate the case sooner. The emergency service is able to receive patients on a 24-hour basis. New Patient Information Please provide the client with any pertinent records, lab work, radiographs, etc., so they can be evaluated with the patient at the time of initial presentation. Information can also be faxed directly to our reception desk (727) 539-7865 at any time.
