If I take my pet to Dr. Jeffers, what
role will my veterinarian play?
 The services provided by a specialist should be an extension of those
offered by your general veterinarian.
As such, Dr. Jeffers requires a copy of your pet’s medical records
or a completed veterinary referral form to be faxed to his office or
brought with you and your pet to your first visit. The record of
treatments and diagnostic tests performed by your veterinarian will
provide vital information, prevent unnecessary repetition of
procedures and generally expedite the diagnosis and treatment of your
pet’s skin problem.
Almost each time you visit Dr. Jeffers, he will send a letter to your
veterinarian updating him or her on your pet’s progress. This
information will be kept in your pet’s medical file.
Excellent communication between Dr. Jeffers and your veterinarian is
invaluable in providing the best care possible for your pet.

Your pet’s veterinarian is equipped to successfully treat most
common skin disorders. However, you veterinarian is also
responsible for keeping up-to-date in all aspects of
veterinary medicine. It is impossible for a general
practitioner to be as experienced or well informed regarding
the latest dermatologic techniques and treatments as the
specialist who has advanced training and only treats diseases
of the skin. Referring your pet to a specialist usually
indicates that your veterinarian cares about you and your pet
and wants the skin problem treated in the safest, most
effective manner possible.
Since Dr. Jeffers is a specialist, he only treats animals with
skin disease and never provides routine veterinary care. Your
veterinarian will continue to provide your pet with
comprehensive medical care.
