What to Expect at Animal Emergency Center Yorktown

We see walk-in patients only, so no appointment is necessary

Emergency rooms are different from day practices. Unfortunately, emergencies are not pre-planned, nor do they fit into an appointment schedule.

Emergency hospitals operate differently from general veterinary practices. Because emergencies are unpredictable, patients are evaluated through a triage process based on the severity and urgency of their medical needs. Patients with life-threatening or critical conditions are prioritized for immediate care, which may mean patients who arrive later are treated sooner. Our team continually reassesses patients to help ensure those with the most urgent needs receive care as quickly as possible.

We cannot anticipate exactly when or how many patients will require immediate attention, which makes it difficult for us to accurately tell you how long the wait will be.

We appreciate your understanding and patience. Our staff is working hard to keep the wait to a minimum. All patients will receive our full attention, care, and compassion.
