The way it worked for me is my Vet called them to make the referral, then they (U of M) called me and set up the appointment, I believe it was on a Friday, and I was in to see them on Monday. (You don't have to have a referral, but I believe it gets you in quicker)
I would highly recommend you go there if you can, it is a teaching hospital, but they always have the certified doctors see your baby along with the resident/tech. A resident may see her first, but at the appointment, you will also see a board cert specialist, who is the one who will be in charge of your case. It is a top notch place from my experience, and we felt very comfortable there with the way they handled my furbaby and our situation.
Hope this helps at least in understanding how it works there.
Good luck with your baby and I hope you can get some answers soon! |
Thank you!! Tomorrow I am taking her to Blue Pearl because the specialist there actually studied and did her internship at the U of M and she comes highly recommended so I will see what she says but if I feel the need I will take her to the U of M as well.
Thanks again and I hope we do get some answers tomorrow! I will keep you informed.
