Patients are normally referred to the Veterinary Referral Center of NH by their regular, primary care veterinarian. Typically your regular veterinarian will send VRCNH a referral form. The form will describe your pet’s problem and identify the appropriate specialty department to see your pet.
If you are a new client to the Veterinary Referral Center of Portland we ask that you bring the form, along with any x-rays or records that you may have partaining to your pets medical issue.

VRCNH is an extension of your veterinarian's practice, with the same caring, compassionate approach you and your pet are accustomed to. We work with your regular veterinarian to ensure that your pet can always get the medical attention he or she needs.
