Referral and Scheduling Guidelines for Veterinary Specialists

Welcome, Veterinary Colleagues

Thank you for choosing Southeast Veterinary Oncology and Internal Medicine (SEVO-Med) for your patients’ specialized care. To ensure a smooth referral and scheduling experience, please review our guidelines below.

Important Notice: No Walk-Ins or Emergency Services

SEVO-Med is a specialty referral practice. We are not an emergency hospital and do not accept walk-in patients. All appointments must be scheduled in advance through the referral process.

Referral Process

1. Submit a Referral

Choose one of the following methods:

For Oncology referrals, a definitive diagnosis is preferred. However, if a diagnosis is unable to be determined prior to consultation and a mass is present within the thoracic cavity, abdomen, or nasal cavity, our specialists have the ability to perform the necessary diagnostics to establish a diagnosis before proceeding with treatment. If uncertain, request a specialist consultation before referring.

2. Appointment Coordination

  • For online submitted referrals our team will contact the pet owner within 24 business hours of receiving the referral.

  • If a case is urgent but not an emergency, call us for specialist communication. However, immediate availability

    is not guaranteed.

  • Incomplete medical records may delay scheduling until all required documents are received.

3. Pre-Appointment Instructions

  • Clients will receive confirmation and preparation guidelines before their appointment.

  • Non-diabetic patients must fast before consultation. Please inform pet owners accordingly
