Facilities provided by the veterinary practice:
Our physical building is spacious, modern and includes a retail area, personal desk space, break/conference room, 2 stall heated attached garage, in-house lab, in-clinic laundry, locker room with shower. Trucks, vet boxes and equipment are professional looking and kept in good repair.
Traditionally our practice has been rooted deeply in the dairy industry, but we have seen significant growth in our beef and small ruminant sectors over the last few years. Our customers range from very traditional to multi-generational, large, modern and progressive farms. We pride ourselves as being early adopters of new technologies and changing industry standards. At the moment, approximately 80% of our clients are within 25 miles of the clinic, however growth is abundant. We strive to be part of the ‘dairy team’ for our clients by being familiar and up to date with farm records and performance, attending farm management meetings, and having regular communication with the farm’s other advisors. We value the personal relationships we have developed with our clients and view them as both friends and partners in the dairy industry. We work hard, but encourage time away to pursue personal interests and work/life balance. On-call and weekend duties are shared evenly with a 3 day weekend standard following a weekend worked. Evening and weekend emergencies are becoming less frequent due to our progressive clientele and training provided to producers. Yearly business planning, we feel, is essential to being a well managed, forward thinking, successful practice. All veterinarians, regardless of seniority, are encouraged to participate and contribute to the direction of the practice.
Practice Area:
