What is a referral?

Just like in human medicine, no veterinarian can be an expert in every field, and there are times when even the best primary care veterinarian cannot deal with a patient’s problems. At this stage, they may well suggest a referral, i.e. sending the pet to someone who has greater expertise in that area and, potentially, more specialized equipment to deal with the problem

Whilst there are veterinarian with varying levels of expertise, a veterinarian who has completed the rigorous postgraduate training, education, and examination of  a recognized veterinary specialty organization is the most qualified person who can be seen in the event that a referral is required.
