Fitzpatrick Referrals is the only centre in the world that can offer each referring vet, client and patient access to all the options available in the world today in orthopaedics and neurosurgery.
Our team is continually setting new standards in cutting edge techniques and we strive to offer every technology possible to treat orthopaedic and neurological dysfunction in small animals. However, technology for technology’s sake is not ethically or morally justifiable in our opinion and each patient’s best interest is always at the forefront of our clinical decisions.
We practice ethically and morally grounded medicine and are committed to exploring and discussing each and every option with all of our clients to ensure the optimum outcome for their animal.
