First visit

We are excited to welcome you and your pets as new patients at Animal eye consultacts of IOWA!

Please fill out our New Patient Form to get started.

Referral is not required prior to scheduling. However, we work closely with primary veterinarians to help manage ophthalmic cases.

We value your bond with your primary veterinarian. A referral to a specialist indicates your veterinarian’s concern for your pet. Your veterinarian will be provided with a report of your visit to ensure continuity of care. During your treatment with us, Ophthalmology for Animals cannot provide general veterinary care for your pet with the exception of emergency care. The ophthalmologist will inform you of prognosis and anticipated recovery time. In general, we recommend that you follow up with us for the presenting problem so we can accurately assess your pet’s progress and direct his/her recovery. In order to assure an optimum care provider-patient relationship, please comply with the following instructions:
  • Please arrive promptly for your appointment time. The time given is reserved just for you.
  • The office requires 24 HOURS notice if you cannot keep your appointment or need to reschedule an appointment.
  • If 24 HOUR notice is not given to cancel or reschedule, this will be considered a no show appointment. No show appointments may result in the need for an appointment deposit upon rescheduling.
  • Late arrival for exams (more than 10 minutes after scheduled appointment time) are considered no show appointments. Our team will make every attempt to work your pet in to the existing schedule but can not guarantee that an exam can be conducted.
