Southeast Veterinary Oncology & Internal Medicine (SEVO-Med)

Referral Guide
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:
- Online: Complete and submit our referral form via our referral page. Attach medical records, diagnostic results, and relevant treatment notes. Records can also be emailed to [email protected]. 
- Portal: Use our rVetlink portal for secure, 24/7 patient record access and eReferral submissions. 
- Phone: Call Orange Park (904) 278-3870 or Jacksonville (904) 567-7519 to provide case details and coordinate patient scheduling. 
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 

Post-Consultation Communication
- A detailed report will be sent within 24-48 business hours and will also be available on the rVetlink portal. 
- Diagnostic results may take several days; reports may be delayed accordingly. 
- Our specialists remain available for follow-up discussions to ensure continuity of care. 
- Updated records for future appointments should be sent to our email below. 
Emergency & Urgent Referrals
- If a case is rapidly declining, call us to request a specialist consultation.
