When you refer a case to us, you can be confident that your patient will be carefully monitored and expertly imaged using state-of-the-art research-quality imaging equipment. Following the exam, your patient will be sent back to you with an immediate call to discuss our findings. You won’t just get images from us, but also a team approach that we refer to as our circle of care, as we work closely with recognized experts in internal medicine and neurology to help guide treatment options for our referring clinicians.

Many people want to know what our services cost, and we want to support your ability to provide accurate pricing estimates to your clients. Please contact our client service team if you would like to request a current price sheet. Note that prices and services previously appeared here and have been removed to reduce confusion and information conflicts. The most accurate price information will always be available from our client service team.

We offer many other services including a complete range of digital cytology and other lab testing to complement our diagnostic imaging modalities. We occasionally participate in clinical research to investigate therapies for conditions such as arthritis and lumbosacral disc disease. Check out our clinical research page for enrollment information.

Advanced diagnostic imaging is the foundation for advanced veterinary medicine. Let our image quality help you make the best treatment decisions possible.

  1. Let our brochures do the talking

Our detailed brochures explain the entire process from the animal owner’s perspective, covering all the bases from pricing, to wait time, to how our technology works. We try to keep our local vets stocked up, but if you need more brochures, you can always place a free order here.

2. Submit our referral form

Our short interactive referral form can be submitted either by you or by your client. It only takes a couple of minutes and gives us all the basic information we need to get started with the case. You can visit the form on our contact page or by clicking here

 

3. We schedule with your client

Once we receive a completed referral form, our scheduling team will contact the animal’s owner to find an appointment time.
