Patient Information

Knowing what to expect and how to be prepared for your appointment at Memphis Veterinary Specialists & Emergency will make the process quicker and more pleasant for both you and your pet.

What to Expect at a Specialty Appointment

Once you have been referred to our veterinary hospital by your primary care veterinarian, contact us to book your first appointment.

We look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend!

STEP 1
Get Settled

Please arrive about 10 minutes early for your first appointment to fill out our New Patient Form. To save a bit of time, you can complete the New Patient Form online in advance.

STEP 2
Meet Your Specialist & Talk About Your Pet

A member of our specialty team will review your pet's history and discuss their issues. You can ask any questions you want, and we'll take the time to answer.

STEP 3
Examination, Diagnosis & Treatment

Once your pet has been assessed, we will provide you with a diagnosis and treatment options. Your veterinary specialist will work with you to determine a treatment plan for your pet.
