Trinity
Internal Medicine Referral Center

TIMRC is not a full referral hospital and, at this time, is not equipped to handle critically ill patients or those requiring stabilization in an emergency situation. Our internal medicine service is intended to provide care on a referral basis only and advanced cases beyond our scope may not be accepted for appointments.  Working with our referral coordinator will provide in depth information on our scope of services and limitations.
 

There is a long list of medical and non-medical reasons for a veterinarian to refer to an internal medicine specialist.  Whether it is to develop an appropriate treatment plan, obtain assistance with making a diagnosis, perform therapeutic procedure, or to simply reassure the patients family that a serious issue is present -  Dr. Brunker and her TIMRC team is here to help. 

The TIMRC team will utilize every aspect of a patient's history and condition to provide exceptional care in a tailor-made approach for each referral seen.  This can only be achieved thru a partnership with our team, the primary veterinarian, and pet owner.  Communication is vital to this process and success for a healthy outcome.  Once stable, long term treatment will be maintained by the primary veterinarian unless otherwise discussed with Dr. Jill Brunker.

All patients seen at Trinity Internal Medicine Referral Center must be referred by a veterinarian.  To ensure this process is efficient, thorough, and focused on client and patient care, our referral coordinator will work with referring veterinarians to streamline the flow of information.  Detailed medical history and patient records are crucial to ensure Dr. Brunker and her TIMRC staff have up-to-date information regarding the referred patient.   All patients seen at TIMRC will be treated by our board certified internal medicine specialist for the referred condition only.  Routine procedures and other concerns not related to the this condition will be noted for the primary veterinarian.
