COLLEAGUES IN PRACTICE, PARTNERS IN PATIENT CARE
Our sincere appreciation to Pet Matters Animal Clinic – Butuan City, especially Dr. Maria Katrina B. Villarosa, for entrusting Bailey, a 6-year-old Siberian Husky, to our team for further orthopedic assessment and surgical correction of his right coxofemoral luxation.
Thank you for the referral and, most importantly, for the trust. It truly means a lot to us. 🙏
Veterinary medicine becomes stronger when colleagues work together. Referral is not simply transferring a patient from one clinic to another, it is a collaboration between veterinarians with one common goal: providing the best possible care for the patient.
No single veterinarian or veterinary facility has to do everything. By recognizing when a case may benefit from another colleague’s experience, expertise, equipment, or surgical capability, we give our patients access to a broader level of care while maintaining the important relationship between the patient, the owner, and the referring veterinarian.
We highly value this culture of professional collaboration rather than competition. Sharing knowledge, communicating openly, and trusting one another ultimately benefits not only our individual practices, but also helps elevate the standard of veterinary medicine in our community.
To our colleagues at Pet Matters Animal Clinic, thank you once again for your confidence in our team. We are grateful to be part of Bailey’s care and will do our best to provide the assessment, treatment, and surgical management he needs.
Different clinics. Different strengths. One profession. One goal, the best possible outcome for our patients. 🤝
