Our Services
Our team have a vast experience in delivering dedicated expertise with state of the art specialist equipment in a custom-designed facility.
Cardiorespiratory
Craig Devine visits Scottish Vet Referrals every Wednesday and is available for email advice and support between visits.
CT Scanning
Scottish Vet Referrals was the first veterinary practice in the Highlands with a permanent, on-site CT scanner. This is utilised by our referral clinicians in ophthalmology, medicine, oncology, cardiology and surgery, as well as being available for an ‘imaging only’ service to referring practices.
Dermatology
Several clinical studies have indicated that up to 75% of small animal patients are presented to veterinary practices for dermatological disorders. Dermatology involves a wide range of skin and systemic diseases.
Eye Testing
The Eye Scheme (BVA - Canine Health Schemes) is mainly designed to identify hereditary eye conditions in dogs.
Tony Wall is the only ophthalmologist in the Highlands who is qualified to offer this service.
Internal Medicine & Oncology
Simon Bate, our Internal Medicine and Oncology Clinician is in practice on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week.
Ophthalmology
After operating an ambulatory referral ophthalmic service for over 20 years in veterinary practices across the north of Scotland, our ophthalmologists, Tony Wall and Kirsten Macleod, opened Scottish Vet Referrals in Inverness in February 2017, the first dedicated referral practice in the North of Scotland.
Orthopaedic Surgery & Neurology
Our orthopaedic referral service is led by Roberto Bergamaschi, an advanced practitioner in Small Animal Surgery and consultant in Small Animal Neurology. He is available for surgical cases Monday to Friday at the practice.
