Orthopaedic Referrals
Dr. Alexander Davies BVSc PGCertSAS PgC(SADI) MRCVS leads our orthopaedic referral service at Sandhole Vets.
Alex is an advanced veterinary practitioner in small animal surgery. He has a certificate in Small Animal Surgery and a second in Diagnostic Imaging. He has experience with TPLOs, fabellotibial sutures, patella surgery, and most standard to moderately complex fractures. Alex is also experienced and comfortable with diagnostic work-ups of complicated orthopaedic cases, as well as soft tissue experience such as TECA/LBOs, BOAS patients, abdominal biopsies, and intestinal/urinary surgeries. Alex is happy to review images and cases with referring vets, and is happy to discuss if he can also help in more complex cases.
After receiving a referral request from the referring vet (either by email, fax or phone), our referral nurse will ensure we have the relevant history, referral letter and client information. We will then contact the client directly to arrange a suitable appointment time.
Referrals begin with a 30-minute appointment to fully examine the patient and discuss treatment plans thoroughly with the pet owner. A detailed Referral report, including findings, results and treatment recommendations, will be sent via email to your Primary Care Provider. The report is then discussed with you via your Primary Care Provider.
If follow-up procedures are required with ourselves, we will advise your Primary Care Provider of this within your pet's reports. If you would like a copy of the report, this can be requested from us or your primary care provider.
