Step-by-step: Your Pet’s Visit
When you arrive for your pet’s appointment at Williams Veterinary Wellness, you will be greeted by one of our friendly Customer Service Representatives who will get you checked in for your appointment. You may be asked to fill out paperwork or present any online forms that you brought with you so that we can have your most up-to-date contact and pet information.
After checking in, please feel free to view our bulletin board, peruse items for sale, or help yourself to a bottle of water. One of our skilled Veterinary Technicians will then meet you in the lobby, get your pet’s weight and escort you into an exam room. Once in an exam room, your pet’s Technician will take vital signs, ask questions regarding your pet’s health history and make note of the concerns that you would like the Doctor to address during today’s visit. Please remember to inform your Technician whether your pet is taking any medications or supplements and anything else you think is important for our medical team to know about your pet. Please note that we use notetaking software to assist us in generating medical records to enable us to provide our undivided attention and provide better care to your pets.
The Technician will share all gathered information with the Doctor, who will then meet you in the exam room to address your concerns. The Doctor will perform a comprehensive physical examination of your pet, answer any questions about nutrition, exercise, behavior, or training, and discuss preventative care to keep your pet healthy as they age. Based on this evaluation, the Doctor will make medical recommendations, and your pet’s Technician will review a personalized Treatment Plan with you. Any necessary treatment can then be provided during the same visit.
At the end of your visit, you’ll check out at the front desk with one of our Technicians or Customer Service Representatives. Any prescribed medications will be reviewed with you before discharge, and we’ll send a follow-up message with a visit summary so you have all the important information for your records. It is a privilege to be your pet’s veterinarian, and thank you for choosing us for your pet’s care. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
