Our Hospital

AAHA Acredited Logo

AAHA

One of our most important accomplishment is the certification of our clinic through the American Animal Hospital Association. AAHA standards are recognized around the world as the benchmark for quality care in veterinary medicine and less than 17% of all clinics in the United States receive this recognition. We are proud to have achieved this level of excellence.

Our Philosophy

We are dedicated to helping you provide the best quality of life for your pets using all methods of healing and wellness available.

 

Hospital History

The clinic was founded in 1981 when the entire staff consisted of Dr. Joni Samuels and one part-time technician. Dr. Diana Bochenski joined the hospital in 1987, followed by Sylvia Maguire, our Hospital Administrator, in 1997, then Dr. Tina Taylor, our Hospital Medical Director, in 1998 and most recently Dr. Lexi McKenna, in 2006. At present our staff includes 20 plus full-time employees as well as three consultants; an acupuncturist, a board certified orthopedic surgeon, and a board certified radiologist. We moved into our award-winning hospital in the fall of 1995 and have continued to maintain a state-of-the-art facility. Our boarding accommodations have grown to include an additional building complete with fenced play yards to accommodate our expanding clientele.
