Rates
Please call 304.931.8484 to speak with Dr. Stenger regarding specific rates.
Standard rate: Established client* rate is $200/hour for professional services (surgery, evaluation, treatment, herd health management) and includes time on the farm for scheduled appointments. Travel is not included in the professional services rate. An additional one-way travel charge of $200/hour of travel time to location will be added. Medications and supplies are usually priced competitively at 15-30% above my cost. This markup is typically further reduced with larger orders or drop shipments for established clients.
Emergency charge: Regular business hours are 8am-6pm Tuesday-Friday. If an emergency trip is made outside of these hours, or if the appointment has not been scheduled in advance, then a $50/hour emergency fee will usually be charged to established clients*. Emergencies completed for clients using another veterinary clinic for primary care will be charge an additional $100/hr. We apologize in advance for this added surcharge, but many practices are not serving their own clients which is adding extra strain to our time.
Larger herd work and/or annual vaccinations may be scheduled outside of regular hours if appointment is made in advance. These appointments also are usually given a discounted hour rate.
* An established client is one that utilizes West Fork Veterinary Services for routine care such as herd health products, health certificates, annual vaccinations, pregnancy diagnostics, etc.
