Specialty Referrals
Advanced Care When Your Pet Needs It Most
At Riverdale Park Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive care for most of your pet’s medical needs right here in our hospital. When a condition requires advanced expertise or specialized equipment, we partner with trusted board-certified specialists to ensure your pet receives the highest level of care possible.
Our goal is always the same — guiding you to the right resources while staying involved and supportive every step of the way.
When a Referral May Be Recommended
Some complex or advanced conditions benefit from specialty consultation or treatment. In these cases, we coordinate referrals and work closely with specialty teams to create a seamless care experience for you and your pet.
We commonly refer for:
- Cardiology consultations and electrocardiography (ECG)
- Oncology (cancer diagnosis and treatment)
- Ophthalmology (eye conditions and surgery)
- Orthopedics (bone, joint, and ligament procedures)
- Emergency and critical care
- Other advanced or specialty services as needed
Coordinated, Continued Support
Even when your pet is referred, we remain your partner in care. We communicate with specialists, review results, and help manage follow-up treatment to ensure your pet’s health plan stays clear and consistent.
