The specialists at the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital are committed to providing the best care possible to each of our patients. We know you share that commitment too. Imagine what we can do together!
Making a referral
While our Large Animal Hospital does not require referrals, they are preferred. Please contact our Large Animal Client Care teams to discuss referring your patient at 706.542.3223.
Sending Medical Records
In order to accurately schedule and streamline your patient’s visit, it is imperative that we receive full medical records including imaging, bloodwork, and doctor’s exam or medical notes. Please send all records to [email protected]. Please include the Patient’s Name and service you are referring them to on the subject line. If you have any issues or need assistance, please contact Medical Records at 706.542.5000.
Following Up on a Previously Referred Patient
We understand that many cases that come to the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital require long-term care and assistance. If you would like to follow-up with one of our clinicians on your patient’s most recent labwork or progress exam, please email a copy to [email protected]. To help expedite a return response from a clinician, please provide a summary report of how the patient is currently doing and any medication(s) or treatment(s) being performed, as well as the best form of contact for you. Please be advised email is our preferred method of communication.
Online Medical Records Portal
Our online RDVM portal allows veterinarians to access medical record information for patients that have been referred to our hospital. This includes test results, diagnostic images, discharge reports, etc. It is structured on a clinic level, so each veterinary clinic only needs one username and password. Once a clinic’s registration is confirmed, anyone from that clinic can login to see medical record information for their patients. Please note that the portal only shows information for discharged patients. If you have a question about a patient that is currently under our care, please call us at 706-542-3221.

Requesting a Consult
One of our missions as a teaching hospital is to be a resource for other veterinarians throughout the state and nation. To request a consultation with our Large Animal team, please contact our front desk at 706.542.3223.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are where patient care and innovation intersect. They allow us to offer our patients unique treatment options while simultaneously advancing the field of veterinary medicine. If you have any questions about a study, or have a patient you would like to recommend, please contact our clinical research coordinator, Lisa Reno, at 706.296.7818 or [email protected].
UGA Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories
The college’s diagnostic laboratories operate separately from our teaching hospital. If you are trying to reach either the Athens or Tifton Lab to submit a test, ask a question, or inquire about necropsies, please contact them directly by calling (706) 542-5568.
