Broad Street Veterinary Hospital is dedicated to providing the best care to our patients and their owners, backed by our long history of quality veterinary practice and our passion for pets.
What to Expect at a Veterinary Appointment
Knowing what to expect at your first appointment will make the process easier and smoother for both you and your pet.
Get Settled
We encourage all of our new clients to arrive at least ten minutes early to their pet's appointment so they can fill out our patient forms. To save some time, you can also complete all of our patient forms online in advance.
Meet Your Veterinarian
A member of our veterinary team will walk through your pet's medical history with you and discuss any health issues they may be experiencing. You can also take this opportunity to ask any questions you might have. We will be sure to take the time to answer them.
Examination, Diagnosis & Treatment
After your pet has been assessed by your vets, they are ready for diagnosis and treatment. Your veterinarian will explain your treatment options and work with you to determine what the best choice for your pet is.
After your visit, we will create a detailed report of our diagnosis, the discussion we had with you, and your pet's treatment plan. We will keep this information on hand for whenever you need it.
