GVS Is Temporarily Suspending Surgery
Dr. Wardlaw and her staff pride themselves on treating their patients as if they were their own pets. The safety and care of our hospital families are always forefront in our minds. However, with this ever-evolving situation, now the conservation of PPE is critical for combatting COVID-19. The best way we can help our human counterparts has resulted in us deciding to donate all of our gowns, masks, gloves, and surgical scrub to St. Luke’s Hospital for immediate distribution.
Because of this, we will be cancelling cases for the next three weeks. We will begin re-scheduling cases with a weekly rolling re-schedule until the shelter in place order has been lifted. We will happily schedule surgeries, with the understanding they might have to be pushed back. In order to keep the schedule fair, we will have a first come first served booking policy.
We are all in this together, as humans, as veterinarians, as parents, as family. Dr. Wardlaw will continue to be available for free virtual consults via Zoom, Facebook, Facetime, and Duo. She and her staff will also continue to be available via phone, email and text.
We look forward to coming together in joy and fellowship at the Crawfish Boil with the future date to be determined.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions on surgical cases, tips on conserving PPE , or just to say hello.
Dr. Jennifer Wardlaw, DVM, MS
Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Surgeons – Small Animal
