Referrals

Now Accepting Surgical Referrals
Aliso Viejo Animal Hospital is pleased to accept surgical referrals from local veterinary practices. To initiate a referral, please email all relevant medical records, including diagnostics, to [email protected]. Once the records have been received, we kindly ask that the pet owner contact us directly to schedule a surgical consultation.

During the consultation, we will review the case, provide a treatment plan and estimate, and, if the owner chooses to proceed, schedule the surgery.

Following the procedure, our doctors will communicate the surgical findings and outcome with the pet owner and ensure the patient is referred back to their primary veterinarian for any ongoing care or follow-up treatment.

We value our partnerships with referring veterinarians and are committed to supporting you and your clients with high-quality surgical care.
