How to Refer a Patient
Orchard Park Veterinary Medical Center offers referral services for our board-certified internists, surgeon, neurologist, oncologist and emergencies. Please note: We do not provide routine preventive care for a referred patient.
To refer a patient to one of our board-certified veterinarians for treatment or a second opinion in internal medicine, oncology or surgery, or neurology
- Refer and access medical records via the rDVM Referral Portal
- Call our main number (716) 662-6660

Please be sure to send a complete referral letter, copies of any completed blood work, and any X-rays. Once treatment has concluded, it is expected that the patient returns to the referring veterinarian. Other than emergencies, we will not see outside patients without an accompanying referral letter.
