Types of Evaluations |
 To
provide a more flexible process for getting your dog evaluated, we
have expanded our evaluation process to include two new types of
evaluations: 1) Sports Medicine Evaluation; and 2)
Post-Surgical Evaluation. This provides more options for our
clients in certain circumstances and a more focused approach for
some of our evaluations. These are the different evaluation
options you now have:
-
Comprehensive (our original evaluation)
-
Extended (for patients unable to walk or rise independently)
-
Sports Medicine (sporting dogs, without any known
musculoskeletal or neurological issues) -
Post-Surgical (healthy dogs where surgery has been performed on
only one joint) -
Hospice (patients uncomfortable during the last part of their
life with cancer or organ failure)
Please call us to discuss any of
these options that you may have questions about.

Cool Treatment
Options
|
We have some cool treatment options that
we want to tell you about / remind you of in case its' application
pertains to your pet:
 * Assisi
Therapy: This is a very effective, human FDA approved,
acute pain control device, using a proprietary type of PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic
Field) therapy. It has been shown to be effective for pain
following surgery, pain associated with a sprain, strain, muscle
pull or ligament injury, and for arthritis that is painful after
exercise. Check out their website at www.assisivetrx.com.
* Pulsed
Signal Therapy: This therapy helps with more than
just pain. It can actually stimulate cartilage growth.
Check out their website at www.pstvet.com.
* Cold
laser therapy: Not cold as in "brrr", but cold
as in "not cutting." Cold Laser Therapy can
decrease scar tissue around the joints, relieve joint and back
pain, heal bursitis, tendonitis, sprains, strains and stimulate
wound healing. From lick granulomas to pressure sores there is a
significant decrease in pain and healing time with laser therapy

Protecting Your
Identity
|
 Identity Theft is becoming a major
problem in the U.S. You should know that we take protecting
your identity very seriously at TOPS. You can be sure of the
following:
- All staff members have been
trained on how to protect your critical records.
- Procedures have been reviewed
and/or enhanced to ensure the utmost protection is in
place.
- Our credit card machine is PCI
Compliant, providing peace of mind that any information stored
on the machine is safe.
As well, we are asking for your help
in one area. We need to ask that all clients remain in the
public areas of TOPS only, which includes the following: 1)
Therapy Room (aka Pool Room); 2) Exam Rooms; 3) Lobby and 4) Client
Bathroom. Outside
of these areas, you will need to be escorted by one of our staff
members. Thank you for your cooperation.
