Cardiology Referrals
Priory Veterinary Group in Christchurch, are happy to take referrals for Cardiology, both from registered clients, and other veterinary practices.
Veterinary Cardiology
Jess is an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who has been with Priory since 2013. In 2017, she completed a certificate in Small Animal Cardiology, and went on to achieve further Advanced Practitioner Certification in 2018.
Jess believes the key to managing cardiac disease is ensuring her clients have a good understanding of their pet’s condition, by including a full face-to-face consultation after all investigations to discuss treatment options and ongoing monitoring. She also works closely with a skilled group of registered veterinary nurses, to provide affordable ongoing monitoring for chronic cases.
