Hi everyone, we've made a slight change to our referral protocol for urgent in-person appointments. If you would like to refer a patient for in-person assessment urgently please take some photographs of the eyes and email them to [email protected] as well as filling in the referral form on our website. This allows us to triage the case and schedule it appropriately. Alternatively remote consults are a great starting point for urgent cases as we can usually complete these faster than we can get cases in for in-person appointments. Thanks heaps- The Pet Eye Care Team

Congratulations Petra!!!!
Dr Petra Price BVSc MVM MANZCVS FANZCVS is now a Registered Specialist in Veterinary Ophthalmology. Petra finished off the last part of her residency training with Kellam's mentorship in Wellington. She has then gone on to pass ANZCVS Fellowship exams and obtain specialist registration, which is no mean feat. We're really happy for her and wish her well with her future career.

Following our move to Hamilton, Petra is working with us in a remote consulting capacity only, for in-person referrals please contact Totally Vets in Feilding.

Waiting times for consultations in Wellington are currently about 6 weeks. We recommend veterinarians who refer to our Wellington clinic consider using our remote consultation service. We can offer a much quicker turnaround and book patients in directly for surgery/diagnostics as appropriate. For more information on this service see www.peteyecare.co.nz/remoteconsults

We have some exciting changes coming up on a business and personal level, which will impact our referral service going forwards.
For family reasons, Kellam and Amy have decided to relocate to the Waikato, so from September onwards The Referral Centre in Hamilton will be the main home base for Pet Eye Care!

We will continue to provide a regular referral service in Wellington. Petra has now completed the supervised training portion of her residency and will continue to provide a consulting and surgical service at Carevets Kilbirnie clinic. Kellam will regularly travel to Wellington to operate on patients.

The main impact of this change will be a reduced number of consultation appointments available in Wellington. To help alleviate excessively long wait times we recommend veterinarians use our remote consultation service. Further information can be found at www.peteyecare.co.nz/remoteconsults
