Modified Curbside Service
***We are excited to share that the office is conducting MODIFIED curbside service for scheduled appointments, AND the lobby is OPEN for clients coming to pick up food ,medications, drop off samples, and/or to schedule appointments.***
Modified curbside service protocol:
- Arrive at your scheduled appointment time and remain in your car, or outside, with your pet.
- Send us a text at 717-255-8173 to let us know you and your pet are here!
- A team member will call you on the phone number provided, or come outside and speak with you to review the information & pet health questionnaire relevant to the appointment.
- Before escorting your pet into the building, a nurse will provide you with a pager.(Small dogs and all cats should be secured in carriers. Dogs not in carriers must be on a secure leash and removed from the vehicle.)
- Once inside, Dr. Crescenzi will examine your pet and perform any other testing or medical services agreed upon for your pet while you wait outside.
- When your pager begins “beeping” , head into the lobby and patiently wait to be escorted into a consultation room. Dr. Crescenzi or another team member will meet you there to discuss the results of the appointment and make any recommendations or discuss prescriptions.
- Any necessary follow-up appointments will be scheduled and you will be financially discharged in the lobby.
- A team member will then return your pet and any medications or paperwork/certificates/etc to you
