   Neurology Your First Visit

What to Expect
When your appointment is scheduled, our coordinator will ask for all pertinent client and patient information so that a file may be ready when you arrive. After checking in at our front desk, a technician will check a weight on your pet then escort you to our examination room. The technician will obtain a TPR and ask you a few brief questions to get an understanding of the reason for your visit.

The neurologist will obtain a more detailed medical history. After performing a thorough physical and neurological evaluation Dr. Lane will spend the remainder of the time discussing findings, treatment considers causes, diagnostic and treatment options, and answering questions. Your initial office call is scheduled for 1 hour. Following your visit, a detailed letter will be faxed to your veterinarian so they have a complete record of your findings and remain involved in future care.

What to Bring
To make your appointment time more effective there are a few important items you can bring along with you. A copy of your pets most recent medical records including blood work, if your veterinarian has taken recent radiographs these will also be extremely helpful during the assessment process. radiographs can be costly, but it may be necessary to repeat them if they are unavailable for review on the day of your appointment.

Some pet owners keep logs of recent abnormal behavior and illness patterns; these should accompany the patient to our office as well. These logs may be extremely helpful in clarifying your pet's illness.
