Enhanced capacity for Soft Tissues procedures
Bridge Referrals has increased the availability for veterinary stenting in our region. In addition Bridge Referrals is now better placed to handle a higher volume of the most common Soft Tissue procedures such as BOAS, mass removals, wound repairs, and gastrointestinal surgeries.
Our kennel space has expanded massively. Patients now have a larger, more comfortable area for recovery following surgery. Increased kennel space means we have more availability to accept emergency Soft Tissue referrals, ensuring timely care for your pets.
Competitively priced services in the North East
Quality veterinary care should be accessible to all pet owners across our region. That’s why we’re proud to offer competitively priced services. Our goal is to provide the highest standard of care, at prices that ensure every pet can receive the treatment they need. Whether it’s a routine procedure or a complex surgery, you can trust Bridge Referrals to deliver exceptional value and care.
We now offer set priced Soft Tissue procedures. Our clients are made aware of costs from the beginning of the referral process. There are no hidden charges at the end of treatment.
Our Soft Tissue price list can be requested by emailing the team at [email protected]
Referring vets can contact us easily through our referral platform or via telephone if they require estimates or advice.
Excellent reputation in the community
Since the completion of our expansion, our ability to handle a higher number of patients has grown remarkably. This increase in capacity has been reflected in a surge of referrals, demonstrating our growing reputation in the community.
At Bridge Referrals, we understand that a visit to a referral centre can be a stressful experience for both pets and their owners. Feedback from our veterinary partners has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing their confidence in our services. They continue to send their patients to us, knowing they will receive outstanding care.
“So many people say what a great, friendly team we are. We’re approachable and clients are made to feel at ease from the very start. Our team is committed to providing compassionate care, not just for your pet but for all” – Alison Kennair, Director and Soft Tissue Surgeon.
Support for referring vets
At Bridge Referrals, we value our partnerships with our referring vets. We are always here to support them. Our Soft Tissue surgeons are happy to advise on difficult cases, whether it’s immediate advice or a specific question about a case, our team is readily available by phone or via our referral platform.
