Specialist Referrals
At Tenafly Veterinary Center in Tenafly, NJ, your pet's health always comes first. When a condition requires expertise beyond our already extensive capabilities, we refer with confidence — connecting you to the best board-certified specialists in the region and ensuring a seamless transfer of your pet's medical history and care.
When a Specialist Referral is Needed
Specialist referrals are recommended when a condition requires subspecialty training, specific equipment, or advanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities not available in general veterinary practice. Common reasons we refer include:
- Complex cancer diagnosis or treatment requiring a veterinary oncologist
- Eye conditions requiring a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist
- Advanced surgical procedures requiring a veterinary surgical specialist
- Neurological conditions (seizures, disc disease) requiring a veterinary neurologist
- Cardiac disease requiring echocardiographic expertise and a cardiologist
- Dermatology cases unresponsive to standard treatments

What to Expect From a Referral
When your pet is referred to a specialist, we provide a complete summary of their medical history, diagnostic results, and our clinical notes to the receiving practice. This ensures the specialist has full context from the start, so your pet doesn’t have to begin care from scratch. We stay actively involved throughout the specialist process and are always available to review findings and coordinate follow-up treatment.
