      RE: Radiology poster

      Posted in: Open Forum

      I prefer Idexx's posters, they're the best I've found over the years. Their PDFs should be large enough to order a poster sized print of them if your rep is unable to provide one for free ------------------------------ Valerie Papuga, CVBL Practice ...

      Some vendors call it AI, when it really isn't so intelligent. Get references of other practices using it, AND CALL THEM. Local VCA clinics have an automated answering system now that sounds super crappy. Like 1990s. Maybe it is powerful and useful for ...

      We are also going to start offering Cherry in January. We are a mixed practice of GP/Urgent/ER/SX. I never felt they were pushy, they just asked us to offer Cherry first, but there isn't a way for them to track this, so they will just have to trust us ...

      We don't have a "brachycephalic" charge. But we do charge for anesthesia time and recovery time separately. When making an estimate for a brachycephalic breed those times are going to get increased to account for longer monitoring and recovering times. ...
