We accept major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Payment is due at the time of service and a deposit is required for patients being hospitalized and/or having surgery. Personal checks can be used but must be approved through TeleCheck prior to acceptance, which is done in our office. Unfortunately, we have tried to provide billing and payment plans numerous times in the past and have found this to be a non-viable way for us to conduct business, therefore we do not offer credit through billing or payment plans. We do accept CareCredit and Scratchpay to help with payments.
Emergency services are available 100% of the time, day or night. After an assessment has been made, any further diagnostics or treatment will be explained and estimates presented for approval.
Hours: Open every day 24 hours for emergencies, transfers, and walk-ins.
Dr. Hanson, Dr. Fiore, and the surgical team hold appointments at Pet Emergency & Referral Center Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until noon at which point the surgical team begins surgeries in the afternoon. Appointments in the afternoon can be arranged but may require flexibility regarding wait times or dropping off a patient since these are surgery hours. The surgical examination and consultation fee, along with any further diagnostics or treatment will be presented as an estimate for your approval. Consultation with Dr. Hanson or Dr. Fiore does not obligate your pet to have surgery and all diagnostics and treatment options will be discussed in detail prior to any surgical procedure being decided upon.
Patients hospitalized and recovering from surgery are cared for around the clock even if Dr. Hanson or Dr. Fiore are not in the hospital. Our Emergency department holds medical rounds with our surgeons and alerts them to any significant changes.
Hours: Monday through Friday
Appointments: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. Surgery hours in afternoon and into evening.
