Use of Medical Scribe Software

To help us provide more focused and hands-on care during your pet’s visit, our practice uses medical scribe software to assist with real-time, accurate documentation of your pet’s medical records. This technology allows our doctors and veterinary team to concentrate more fully on your pet while ensuring important medical information is thoroughly captured.

An added benefit of this system is that it gives us the ability to provide you with a detailed summary of your pet’s visit when needed or requested. We know appointments can involve a lot of information—such as diagnoses, treatment plans, medication instructions, and follow-up care—which can be hard to remember later. Visit summaries can be a helpful resource in supporting your pet’s care at home.

If you wish to opt out, a separate opt-out form must be completed before your pet’s appointment. We encourage clients to remain opted in so they can take advantage of this feature if desired.
