NEW CLIENTS
All new client requests are processed on this site via online forms
ACTIVE PATIENTS
Active clients have three options based on preference i.e. online form, email or text
IT DEPENDS.....
The answer to this question changes frequently due to the logistics of scheduling a mobile practice therefore it is not a general inquiry answer that can be given
Scheduling a mobile and specialty practice by appointment only is very different from scheduling a brick and mortar clinic at a fixed location
Available appointment slots are given priority to active patients and preapproved new clients with authorized paid deposits only
Many factors determine housecall availability such as location of request, what locations are currently on the schedule, etc.
For safety purposes, Dr. Brown requires the online new client request form and medical records for review. Approved requests will then be asked to make a deposit. Once the authorized deposit is received available booking dates will be offered. If a request is not approved the deposit will not be requested and local referral information will be given
Failure to provide medical records and respond to emails regarding submitted requests will deactivate request.
Dr. Brown is limited in the number of patients she can see daily
On demand reception staff is not available.
Great attention to detail goes into scheduling a mobile practice.
In order to provide the best patient care possible, open appointment slots can only be offered by following Dr. Browns protocol
Deposits are required for preapproved new client requests that have submitted both the online new client form and medical records before available dates and times can be disclosed and confirmed.
Active clients are not required to make deposits however excessive cancellations may result in deposits being required prior to scheduling
The minimum required appointment deposit starts at $50 per pet pending appointment type requested and location for preapproved requests only which will be deducted from invoice total
A $100 deposit is required for Integrative Housecall requests as two appointment slots are held in the schedule for this appointment type
If applicable, any urgent care, after hours or extended travel fees are to be included with deposits as well
Unauthorized deposits violate Dr. Browns client policy and will be charged a reversal and transaction fee with automatic refusal of services
Booking dates are offered once authorized deposits are received
Deposits for preapproved appointment requestswill be emailed instructions on how to pay

Unauthorized deposits violate Dr. Browns Zero Tolerance Aggressive Behavior & Bullying Client Policy and will be charged a reversal and transaction fee with automatic refusal of services
Cancellation Policies are as follows as it is difficult to fill last minute cancellation slots due to logistics and the nature of scheduling a mobile & specialty practice. Please give more than 48 hours notice to avoid cancellation fees
48 hour notice $25 cancellation fee
24 hour notice $50 cancellation fee
$100 same day cancellation fee if 12 hour notice or less (prepaid acupuncture packages automatically forfeit a treatment visit)

Dr. Browns practice is a local, veterinarian owned operated small business private practice established in 2010
Nonveterinary owned corporate practices have secured millions of dollars to infringe on our intimate little niche which sadly can directly affect small business in many ways
Thank you for supporting Dr. Brown and her small business
As much as Dr. Brown cares about her patients it is not possible for her to allow unlimited access to her time and expertise outside of in person appointments
Appropriate boundaries & compensation for her time outside of in person appointments such as remote patient care along with correspondence & support given to pet owners helps to avoid burn out and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Brown is directly supported as a local small business vendor when her online pharmacy, shop and links are used vs undisclosed online corporate money makers
