​
What do we need from you?
After completing your referral request, please schedule an appointment with your client. For abdominal ultrasound we will need space for properly positioning your patient, bringing in our equipment and performing the study. Unless notified otherwise, Dr. Fuentes will travel to you with her own nurse or assistant. However, sometimes we need extra help from your nurses. We do not provide or charge for sedation, medications, lab work, etc. These services and ability to charge for them are reserved for your clinic.
Ideally patients would receive mild sedation for abdominal ultrasound. Ideally a low dose of a sedative (normally butorphanol) or having client provide a medication to relieve anxiety (normally gabapentin) prior to appointment are recommended. This allows us to perform the best study in the most efficient amount of time.
What services does Dr. Fuentes provide at this time?
Consults with you and/or with client, abdominal ultrasound, thoracic ultrasound, ultrasound guided sampling (fine needle aspirate and biopsy). We are also able so submit your cytology samples to a board-certified veterinary pathologist. You may ask for a Services List by emailing us at info@flovetimservices.com or calling us at 954 410 6864.
​What is the Turnaround for results?
Discuss with Dr. Fuentes and receive a preliminary report during her visit. Receive your final report within 48-72 hours. Cytological results will depend on pathologist availability.
​
What if further diagnostics or care are required?
Dr. Fuentes will discuss results and treatment recommendations with you. If further work up is required Dr. Fuentes will help you make a comprehensive plan. You will be provided with her personal email and phone number.
How does billing work?
Many easy ways! Once the appointment is complete and your records are received you will receive an invoice for our services via the email address of your choosing. You can pay via check or electronic payment. Credit card payment is available but it includes a 3.5% processing fee. You may also choose to pay the FloVet team during their visit to your clinic.
​
​What equipment do we have?
At this time, we have a top-of-the-line mobile ultrasound. This allows Dr. Fuentes to perform high quality ultrasounds and ultrasound guided needle sampling during her studies. Our hope is to continue adding equipment and next step diagnostics as our company grows (endoscopy, echocardiogram etic).
