ANIMAL HEALTH CLINIC PHILOSOPHY

At the Animal Health Clinic, it is our goal to provide the best possible service to you, our client, and the highest quality veterinary care for your pet. We want to serve clients who desire this type of care for their pet. We realize the importance of avoiding problems and provide a complete Wellness Program to help keep your pet healthy, happy and well-behaved.

Communications

Please do not hesitate to call if you have a question about your pet. Our receptionists can schedule an appointment if necessary, or redirect your call If you need information. We ask for your patience when calling. The staff is frequently busy with office appointments, surgery, or caring for hospitalized pets. If your questions can not be answered immediately, someone will return your call as soon as possible. If you have any other questions about the Animal Health Clinic's policies, we would like to answer them for you.

The Cat's out of the bag!

Animal Health Clinic has a long history of providing high quality service in a high quality facility.   We have been short on space for many years, as many of you may have experienced here at the clinic. Our lobby can be busy and overcrowded, we are short on exam rooms, and we try our hardest not to make your pets have a long wait.

Finally, after 18 months of working on a solution we are moving forward with expansion plans for our clinic.  In the early 1970’s Dr. Treat started the Animal Health Clinic with the philosophy of providing the best medicine, surgery, and care that is available for pets.  With this still being our mission statement and goal at Animal Health, we need to enlarge our facility to provide this.  In 1988 Animal Health moved into the south end of Hornbacher’s Express strip mall on South University Drive.  At that time it was to gain more room for a two veterinarian practice to offer better care.  Now 20 years later with five veterinarians we need to expand again for the same reasons.

Our decision was to stay in the same location rather than move to a new area, allowing us to double our space by staying here.  This will accommodate the need for a more comfortable waiting area, more exam rooms, providing space for new procedures such as digital radiography and imaging, ultrasonography, dental surgical procedures, and upgrading our in-house laboratory.  Yes, this will be more comfortable for our employees but it will be designed to provide more comfort for our clients and most importantly our patients: your pets!

So, please stay tuned for future articles in our newsletters.  We will give you more information on our future expansion/re-model plans.  Thank you for your “patience’ and thank you for your “patients”.
