Tele Medicine
Tele medicine is a relatively new tool which allows the doctor to capture an image and send it to a specialist for an outside opinion and analysis. The application is almost limitless, and eliminates any time or distance barriers between your pet and the best clinicians in the world.
When our doctors feel that additional information is required, he or she will use a high-resolution digital camera, scanners, and internet-capable computers to instantaneously send copies of radiographs, ultrasound images, bloodwork, text, or simple close-up photos of your pet's trouble-areas to a specialist in the appropriate field. Normally, we can confer with them within hours of sending the material.
Telemedicine capabilities allow for a very timely diagnosis for a pet, in the most convenient and cost-effective manner for the owner.
