Wardwell Surgical provides referral soft tissue veterinary surgeries through primary veterinary clinics. If a patient requires a surgery that their veterinarian does not perform, we can bring our equipment to the patient's primary clinic and perform the procedure on site. This allows for appropriate treatment of the ailment and better continuity of care, and eliminates the need for clients to travel to a referral center. Because procedures are performed through a general practice, clients also avoid paying referral center prices, usually resulting in significant cost savings. Referring clinics also benefit from the ability to keep procedures in-house, expanding their care offerings and retaining revenue that would otherwise be lost to referral centers.
