To TEVA Vets, Horses, and Fellow Equestrians Time is Precious

While many may not realize it, the work days for Dr. Joyce and Dr. Hyman start well before they arrive at their first appointment. Trucks are stocked, medical records are reviewed, overnight and before/after hours emergency cases are updated, traffic congestion alerts are read...

Their daily schedules are full, without a break for breakfast, lunch, or supper, without scheduled stops along their route for restrooms, without a known "end" time to their days. But off they go, each morning, to do what they love - being horse doctors - keeping your horses healthy and treating the sick and injured.

In order to make the best, most efficient use of the doctors' time, the TEVA office staff keeps clients updated on doctors' arrival times. Everyone typically knows within a 15 minute range either way of when the TEVA truck will arrive. It is critical that you and your horse be ready for your appointment.

What does it mean to be READY?

  • Your horse should be haltered and in a stall or cross-ties (not still out in a field grazing)
  • Your horse should be unblanketed and relatively clean from mud and debris
  • The treatment area of the horse should be clean and prepared for treatment
  • You or your designated attendant/holder should be with the horse (not in the house or in another barn)

When you and your horse aren't ready, it makes appointments run longer than anticipated, and impacts the timeliness of the doctors' to arrive at their appointments that follow yours. In some cases, it could even delay the doctors' arrival to an emergency visit for a sick or injured horse.

Please remember to always be ready for your appointment. Your fellow equestrians, their horses, and our vets appreciate it!

Click. Print. Return. We need your new payment form on file!

We have updated our Total Equine Veterinary Associates Payment Policy along with our Client Information and Payment Authorization Form effective January 1, 2018. If you have not already done so, now's the time to download and submit your new completed Client Information and Payment Authorization form for our records prior to your first appointment in 2018. Download the new form here.

Some additional payment reminders:

CLIENT BENEFITS/NO EMERGENCY FEES
Client benefits are something we hold dear to our hearts. We are the only equine practice in the area that waives emergency fees for current clients. In order to qualify for our client benefits, including the waiving of emergency fees (when seen by a TEVA vet), your account MUST be in good standing. That means you have a 2018 client information sheet on file, as well as a valid credit card with current expiration date. It also means that you either have an account balance less than 30 days old or a TEVA-APPROVED payment plan in place.

COURTESY, MULTI-PET, & TRAINER DISCOUNTS
We are thankful for our loyal clients and always strive to extend exemplary customer service. We try to say "Thank you" as often as we can afford to through a variety of potential discounts. After much deliberation, we have decided to put discounts on hold for clients who have accounts more than 30 days past due. While we always appreciate your business and support, we just aren't in the banking business and can no longer afford to carry past due client balances indefinitely. We're happy to reinstate discounts once your account is current and regular payments keep it that way.

APPOINTMENTS FOR ACCOUNTS PAST 90 DAYS
If your account has a past due balance older than 90 days, we reserve the right to suspend regular appointment services until it is brought current or a TEVA-APPROVED payment plan is in place. We want to provide the best care for your horses, but providing continued routine services and adding more money due to your account is detrimental and stressful for all parties involved.
