I’ve streamlined the referral process to be as fast and low-effort as possible.

 

A short contact form and uploaded medical record (including radiographs) is all we need. There is no need for you to re-enter details. We pull client information, relevant history, medications, and diagnostics directly from the files you upload.

Recommended Diagnostics Prior to TPLO Referral

These diagnostics can be performed at your clinic prior to referral. Please contact us if you have any questions.

1.  Complete blood count + full biochemistry

Typical cost at our hospital: $210 (pre-tax)

  • Should be current within 3 months of the consult

 

2. Two-View Stifle Radiographs

Typical cost at our hospital: $550 (pre-tax)

Radiographs from your clinic are accepted and used for surgical planning (repeat imaging not required)

  • Must include a calibration ball (placed level with and close to the stifle joint), and include the hock​​

Upload the full medical record, recent labwork, cytology/histopathology reports and/or ultrasound reports (PDF preferred)

DICOM files are preferred for orthopedic surgical planning because they preserve the original image quality and allow more accurate measurements. JPEG radiographs are accepted for initial review if DICOM files are not available. If uploading DICOMs, please compress them into a single .zip file.

Is the Clients' Email address included in the medical record?
Yes
No (please include in dropdown)
