Occasionally it may be necessary to refer patients to a specialist for advanced investigations such as MRI or CT, or for complicated surgical procedures. We choose to refer to Davies Veterinary Specialists, the foremost referral practice in the UK. If we feel that we cannot offer your pet the level of expertise that they need, we will discuss referral with you as our patients’ welfare is our foremost concern.
