About our team:

• Our practice has a long history in this community; several of the employees were clients of the original owner.

Our rural area is unique in that we see patients from multiple surrounding counties and some owners drive over an hour to been seen here. 
• We offer solid medical care at affordable rates.
• Our team is tight knit, we have several employees who have been here 15+ years. Several of our Techs started as a CSR and moved on to become a LVT and Vet Assistants. 
• We have had several former employees who have gone on to become DVMs, we encourage our staff to continue their career goals and our staff are great Mentors.
