Welcome to Macqueen Vets Referral Services
In addition to our general practice, we also offer additional services for other practices, providing expertise for complex and difficult cases across a variety of disciplines: orthopaedics, soft tissue and spinal surgery, CT scanning, internal medicine, ophthalmology & BOAS.
Ian has provided a respected and trusted independent orthopaedic referral service since 1990, and is now supported by Mario who also offers soft tissue surgery and Kennel Club Scheme BOAS assessment and surgery.
Aileen is now offering internal medicine referrals. We provide a 24hr, seven day week, referral service for emergency cases from other practices. Ida joined us in 2003 to offer a weekly ophthalmology service.
Our Team
Our referral nurse team of Becky (appointments), Faye
(surgical), and Jess (wards) provide personal support throughout your client’s journey and their pet’s recovery. Our whole team understand how stressful referral can be for your client and we do all we can to help them through the process.
Strong Communication
All of our vets are happy to discuss potential cases with you or the client; and will provide rapid follow-up patient reports by e-mail or phone. We will do all we can to preserve the relationship that you have with your client, working together to achieve the best outcome. We would be happy to welcome you to our practice, to meet us all and see how we work.
