APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING Appointments with Dr. Lommer are available on Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons in San Francisco and on Wednesday mornings, Thursdays and Fridays in Corte Madera. Appointments with Dr. Force are available on alternate Mondays in Corte Madera and occasional Tuesdays in San Francisco.
Initial Consultations: Consultation appointments are available on Wednesday afternoons and Tuesday mornings in San Francisco and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings in Corte Madera. These appointments typically take 20-30 minutes and cost $110. Please bring the name of your family veterinarian, results of recent blood tests or other diagnostics performed by your veterinarian, and details regarding any medications you are currently giving your pet.
Make an Examination/Consultation Appointment
Please note: Because we typically have a 3-4 week wait for appointments,
we require 48 hours' notice for cancellation or rescheduling. If we
receive less than 48 hours' notice and we are unable to fill the
appointment with someone from our waiting list, the cost of the consult
will be charged. In addition, if you are more than 10 minutes late for
your consultation appointment, the appointment
may need to be rescheduled for another day, and the cancellation fee will apply.
Surgical & procedural appointments: These appointments are
scheduled by doctor approval only, after we have examined your pet. Therefore,
self-booking/online appointments are not available for procedures. Instructions: Do not feed your pet after midnight the day of
the appointment. Water should be withheld from dogs after 6:00am as well. Oral
medications may be given the morning of the appointment, with a small amount of
water if necessary.
Recheck appointments: Recheck appointments are scheduled for
patients who have recently been treated by Dr. Lommer or Dr. Force. If it has been more than
3 months since your pet has seen Dr. Lommer or Dr. Force, you must schedule an
examination/consultation appointment rather than a post-operative recheck appointment.
(A $48 charge applies for consultation visits for pets we have seen within the
past year rather than the $110 fee for new patient examinations.) Also, if
your pet needs recheck x-rays of root canal treatment or a periodontal surgery
site, please call us directly to schedule, as these rechecks require anesthesia.
Make a Post-operative Recheck Appointment
Cancellation policy:
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, we request that you do so a
minimum of 48 hours in advance. This will enable us to take care of someone else’s pet sooner.
A fee will be charged for procedural or surgical appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours'
notice.
If you would like to schedule an appointment by phone rather than online, please
call 415-533-AADS (2237).
REFERRAL POLICY
Although a referral is not required to schedule an appointment, we usually see patients on a referral basis from the patient's primary care veterinarian, acting as an extension of the family veterinarian's care. To facilitate examination, your veterinarian
may provide information about your pet's medical history to us by phone, fax
(415-532-2257), e-mail, or letter. If anesthesia and treatment are planned, your veterinarian may also run blood tests, take chest x-rays, or perform other tests prior to your appointment with Dr. Lommer.
In order to assist your family veterinarian in maintaining current records and continuing a close relationship with you and your pet, a written report summarizing the
diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up recommendations will be faxed to your
veterinarian after your pet's visit. Within 48 hours of your pet's discharge
from the hospital, photographs and radiographs from your pet's procedure will be
visible online at http://flickr.com/photos/petdentist.
