Park Veterinary Referrals provides expertise in ophthalmology, orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery and diagnostic imaging (ultrasonography, radiography and endoscopy). Clients are seen in separate referral facilities in our hospital on Dominion Road in Glenfield. To avoid moving patients, there is backup if necessary, of on-site overnight monitoring for extended post-operative care. Dedicated and experienced emergency veterinary surgeons and nurses run our OOH emergency service. Ambulance transfer is also available if required.
