How to make an appointment...

Referral:

Countryside Canine Rehabilitation is a referral based facility, welcoming physical therapy referrals from other veterinary hospitals. We value strongly our referral relationship, and foster these relationships by referring our mutual patients back to the pet's primary care veterinarian when physical therapy treatment is completed. Any medical needs, other than related to the assigned physical therapy treatment, are addressed by the pet's primary care veterinarian, unless emergency treatment is necessary or arrangements are made and agreed upon by both hospitals.

How do I set up a referral?

  • Call our office upon the recommendation of your hospital, to make a physical therapy appointment.
  • Please have your hospital forward us copies of your pet's medical history
  • Include with the medical history any blood work results, radiographs and ultrasound photos pertaining to the issue at hand.
    What Happens on my First Visit?
  • Plan to arrive approximately 10 minutes early for your pet's physical therapy consult appointment.
  • Check-in at our physical therapy check in center located in the retail area of our front office.
  • Prior to and at that time we will ensure that we have all of your pet's appropriate paperwork, if not we will contact your referring hospital to tie up any loose ends.

At check in, we will ask you to sign an acknowledgement form that indicates that you understand that we are examining your pet strictly on a physical therapy referral basis and cannot accept your pet as a Countryside Veterinary Hospital patient for the period of one year. This strict protocol is in place to maintain the integrity of our referral relationship with your pet's referring veterinary hospital. It is our intention to work hand in hand with your primary care veterinary hospital to provide exceptional physical therapy care to your pet.

How many visits will my pet need?

The number of visits depends on the why your pet is receiving physical therapy, what condition your pet is in, and how well your pet responds to treatment. This will be determined by Countryside Canine Rehabilitation's Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner in conjunction with CCR's Physical Therapy Technician.

 

Clients of Countryside Veterinary Hospital:

Upon the recommendation of a Countryside veterinarian, the front office will schedule a physical therapy consult appointment in our main office for you and your pet, with Dr. Jacobs, CCRP. During the physical therapy consult, Dr. Jacobs will create a PT plan that meets the needs of your pet and your schedule. Future appointments and re-examinations all generally occur in Countryside Canine Rehabilitation's physical therapy suite.
