Teleconsults

Teleconsultations are an amazing way to virtually bring a specialist to your practice.

Do you have a patient whose anesthesia or history might be more complicated than usual? A client who wants to be sure their pet is “cleared” for anesthesia by a board-certified anesthesiologist? A patient whose preoperative ECG was a little unusual (yes, all patients should have preoperative ECGs)? We can review the patient’s full record and come up with a suggested plan from premedication to recovery. We’ll largely work with the drugs you have on hand, but occasionally we may recommend expanding your inventory for the benefit of your patients. We’ll include tips on optimizing patient care, implications of the patient’s co-morbidities, anticipated complications, and a flow of interventions for the anticipated issues. Included in the teleconsultation fee is two short calls or texts regarding the case during its anesthetic event.

Your client and patient get to remain within your care, and you have the security of knowing a board-certified anesthesiologist is a text or call away.

Curious about a teleconsult? Send us an email. Due to volume of requests, we do typically need 48 hours from time of receipt of all records to develop and return a plan for your patient. A STAT fee can be arranged in some cases for 24 hour turnaround.
