How do I schedule an appointment?

If you are interested in scheduling your pet for a rehab assessment, please have your veterinarian submit a rehab referral including diagnosis and pertinent medical records. Once we receive the referral, a member of the rehab team will reach out to you to discuss the rehab program in more detail and schedule the initial rehab assessment. If you need assistance obtaining the referral, feel free to contact us.
