The Mobile Practice

AMBULATORY SERVICE
The office has an ambulatory vehicle in which we make calls to the individuals home who have farm type animals. It carries equipment and supplies for most routine type calls and for most emergencies. It is helpful when the client calls the office to tell the receptionist what type of emergency they have in order for us to determine that we have sufficient equipment to adequately handle the situation.

Calls are made within a radius of 50 miles and an attempt is made to geographically schedule the calls in order that we may more efficiently complete the visits. Being that, if an emergency is called in from the other side of our territory, it may take a while for us to make the trip or we will suggest another veterinarian to assist if that is more agreeable to the client.

The vehicle is equipped with a 2-way radio and a cell phone to more efficiently handle client visits and to answer client concerns. It is also equipped with a refrigerator, running water and lighted for after dark service. The vehicle usually accumulates about 50,000 miles per year.
