WSVDOS is a mobile, veterinary dental practice based out of Grand Junction, CO that provides treatment in collaboration with over a dozen veterinary clinics across the western slope of CO and beyond. While we are more than happy to provide care for your patients in your clinic, & in the comfort of their regular veterinary space, there are times when hosting is a less conducive option, and referring out is preferrable or logistically necessary.
To increase access to our services, we have partnered with Sky Canyon Veterinary Hospital in Grand Junction, CO to see referrals when:
- Your clinic is in the Durango/Cortez area (we can also see certain referrals in Ridgway, CO at Ridgway Animal Hospital case by case)
- There is a need for CBCT imaging prior to procedure
- There are logistical barriers (timely scheduling, staffing/space, clinical aspects)
*Whether we’re seeing your patient at your clinic or Sky Canyon (or Ridgway), we’re happy to take your clinical consultation calls and operational questions at any time!
