How we support primary-care teams
LA Laparoscopy Vet focuses on procedures that benefit from advanced minimally invasive equipment and training — laparoscopy, endoscopy, arthroscopy and VITOM-assisted visualization. We see ourselves as an extension of your team, not a replacement for the relationship you have with your client.
Our role is focused on the specific procedure and the period immediately surrounding it. Patients return to your practice for vaccines, wellness and long-term management, so families continue to rely on you as their primary veterinarian.
What we do and do not do
We provide the minimally invasive procedure, peri-operative care and discharge planning. We do not take over routine or ongoing care, and we do not position ourselves as a replacement for the primary veterinarian.
This collaborative model is designed to protect your client relationships while giving families access to keyhole options when they are appropriate for the individual patient.
Cases commonly referred
Common referrals include laparoscopic spay and prophylactic gastropexy, cryptorchid neuter, abdominal and liver biopsies, endoscopic evaluation and foreign-body retrieval, and arthroscopy for selected joint conditions.
Each case is assessed individually. Whether a minimally invasive approach is appropriate depends on exam findings, diagnostics, anatomy and anesthetic safety, and we are glad to discuss candidacy with you.
Communication expectations
Clear communication is central to a good referral experience. After the consultation and any procedure, we aim to send concise, timely updates including findings, what was performed and the home-care instructions provided to the family.
If you would like to discuss a case directly, our team can arrange a conversation. We want referring veterinarians to feel informed and confident throughout the process.
Starting a collaboration
To refer a case or learn more, call (310) 310-3704 or email info@sevillavet.com with the patient's history and your clinical question. You can also direct the family to book a consultation, and we coordinate from there.
We appreciate the trust involved in a referral and aim to make the process simple for both your team and your clients.
