APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING We are in Corte Madera on Thursdays and in San Francisco on Fridays. Dr. Lommer serves as a clinical instructor at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at U.C. Davis on alternate Mondays-Tuesdays. When not at U.C. Davis, she sees patients in Corte Madera on Mondays and in San Francisco on Tuesdays.
Initial Consultations: Consultation appointments are available on Tuesdays and Fridays in San Francisco and on Mondays and Thursdays in Corte Madera. These appointments typically take 20-30 minutes and cost $105. 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
If you are more than 10 minutes late for an appointment, the appointment
may need to be rescheduled and you may be charged a cancellation fee.
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. If it has been more than
3 months since your pet has seen Dr. Lommer, 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 $105 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
We examine 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 Dr. Lommer by phone, fax, 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.
