Referring Veterinarians

The LVMC has created a unified online portal for requesting referrals and consultations from our specialty services. See links below to learn more.

  • Referrals

    We are excited to announce the transition to our Cyclone Veterinary Information System (CVIS) for all referral information sharing. The electronic submission process ensures that referral information is promptly and efficiently shared with the relevant services.

  • Consultations

    The consult Portal allows you to submit case information and ask questions to an LVMC clinician about the management of a patient not currently being treated by the LVMC. This includes potential referral cases for which you need medical advice.
