Veterio – a novelty on the Polish market of veterinary services
Veterio, the first referral veterinary facility that LuxVet Group is building in Warsaw, is entering the final stages of construction.
Patients will be able to use the 24-hour emergency room and specialized wards as early as autumn.
They will be referred to Veterio by their home institutions.
Veterio is located in the Diuna office complex at 7 Taśmowa Street in Warsaw’s Mokotów district.
On more than 2,200 sq. m.
of space is being created with reception rooms, operating and treatment rooms, diagnostic rooms, comfortable spaces for clients and employees, as well as training and conference rooms.
Veterio’s medical space is divided into two main departments.
The first is a non-stop active emergency room with an intensive care unit that will handle emergency and critical cases.
The second is a referral ward, which will consist of specialized subdivisions: surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, ophthalmology, dermatology, endoscopy, imaging, internal medicine and anesthesiology.
Oncology and dentistry will also be added in the future.
The facility is being outfitted with high-end equipment (including MRI, CT and X-ray scanners), enabling many advanced surgical and diagnostic procedures to be performed under one roof.
However, basic veterinary procedures will not be performed there.
International referentiality patterns
“Veterio’s concept of operation is based on good models of referral veterinary hospitals in the world. In Poland there is no such category of entity, while in Western Europe, the USA, Canada or Australia they are a permanent part of the veterinary care system. These facilities do not provide basic animal care services. They handle emergency and life-threatening conditions on the one hand, and advanced cases requiring specialized treatment and diagnostics on the other. Systemically, they provide support for existing veterinary surgeries, clinics and clinics, which can refer patients to them who cannot be helped on their own. That is, for example, when they do not have the right equipment, an available specialist, or at night or on holidays, when they are simply closed. Veterio will operate on similar principles.” – says Rafal Boroń, Veterio’s clinical director.
The Veterio clinic will serve patients referred from all clinics, both affiliated with the LuxVet Group and outside.
As far as possible, cooperation will be based on agreements with these facilities, which will facilitate the transfer of the patient and contact between the referring facility and the Veterio team – both before the patient’s admission and after discharge.
“As LuxVet Group, we are an active participant in the veterinary market, and we know that limitations in access to highly specialized diagnostics and treatments are a problem not only for animal caregivers, but also for the doctors themselves.
Not every clinic has a CT scanner, not every clinic performs advanced ophthalmic surgery, not every doctor is willing or able to work at night.
We want to fill this gap.
Veterio will be a partner for all willing veterinary facilities.
It will be a partner precisely for doctors – and a guarantee of peace of mind that there is a place where their patient will receive specialized care at any time, after which they can return to the care of the facility referring them there .” – says Piotr Zajączkowski, CEO of LuxVet Group.
Polish team of specialists
LuxVet Group has invited a Polish team of experienced veterinarians to work on the creation of Veterio.
Each specialized subdivision will have its own leader, who will be supported by other doctors and technicians and support staff.
Recruitment is underway, and more information is available at www.veterio.pl.
The facility will also be active in the area of staff training and education.
“Veterio’s doctors and technicians will include people with a very high level of experience and expertise within their specialties, often acquired not only in Poland.
We want them to share it both with other members of the team and with our partner facilities from the referral network – which will be another benefit of working with us.
Veterio has its own training space and we will actively use it.” – Rafal Boroń adds.
Veterio is scheduled to open in September.
Detailed information for establishments interested in referral cooperation can be obtained by writing to partnerzy@veterio.pl.

It is located in Warsaw’s Mokotow district.
It is formed by a Polish team of experienced veterinary doctors and technicians, based on the models of multispecialty referral veterinary hospitals in the world.
