OUR LONG BEACH VETERINARY CLINIC IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED

WE HAND OUT NUMBERS AFTER SURGERY CHECK-IN TUESDAY-FRIDAY (BETWEEN 9:00-10:00)
AND 8:00 AM ON SATURDAY

IF MORNING SURGERY ENDS EARLY WE MAY OPEN OUR CLINIC EARLY. 
WE CAN NOT PREDICT WHEN OR IF THIS WILL HAPPEN.

CLIENTS BEGIN LINING UP BEFORE WE OPEN (SOMETIMES AS EARLY AS 6:00 AM)
NUMBER DISTRIBUTION IS BASED ON TIME OF ARRIVAL, SO WE SUGGEST ARRIVING EARLY

IF MORNING SURGERY RUNS LATE, OUR CLINIC HOURS WILL BE DELAYED 
WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THIS IN ADVANCE

WE CAN ACCOMMODATE 5-25 CLIENTS PER DAY, DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF VETERINARIANS ON DUTY

EUTHANASIA PATIENTS ARE GIVEN PRIORITY SERVICE
AND MAY ALTER THE NUMBER OF GUARANTEED CLIENTS WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE
 
WHILE WE DO OUR BEST TO SCHEDULE 2 VETERINARIANS PER DAY,
THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE

ONCE WE HIT OUR QUOTA FOR THE DAY, WE WILL STOP ACCEPTING CLIENTS
SOMETIMES WE HIT OUR QUOTA EARLY IN THE DAY, SOMETIMES LATER

WAIT TIMES CAN BE 1-3 HOURS - OCCASIONALLY LONGER

SATURDAYS ARE OUR BUSIEST DAYS

SUMMER IS OUR BUSIEST SEASON



OUR CLINICS ARE HIGH-VOLUME AND OUR STAFF IS TRAINED TO WORK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
WHILE PROVIDING THE BEST CARE

WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE
