Our History

​​​​​​​Since 1974, The Animal Hospital has remained a private, family-owned pillar of our community. Dr. Lexi was honored to take over the practice in 2014 from her father, who built the clinic on a foundation of "hometown values" and highquality medicine. Today, we continue that legacy by blending state-of-the-art technology with the personalized attention only a small, independent hospital can provide.

Located in a peaceful, park-like setting, our clinic offers a serene environment for both you and your pets. Our deep roots extend far beyond our clinic walls through active community involvement, supporting the local neighborhoods that have trusted us for generations. We take pride in knowing every patient by name, sharing in your family's joys and supporting you through every challenge.

As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we maintain a commitment to a superior standard of excellence. This "badge of excellence" is held by only 15% of veterinary practices and has recently earned us a monumental nomination for AAHA Accredited Practice of the Year, representing the pinnacle of achievement in our profession.

To continue to maintain hometown values while providing the best quality medicine using state of the art technology.​​​​​​​

The Animal Hospital has dedicated this practice to our patients. Our serene veterinary office is warm and inviting for you and your companion. By choice we remain a small hospital, allowing all our staff to get to know you and your pet, giving whatever time is necessary to meet your needs. Every patient benefits from our commitment to be at the forefront in veterinary medicine. Our philosophy is to treat each patient as if they were our own family member.

1. Quality: We will strive to exceed the expectations of our clients and provide the best possible medical care for our patients.

2. Kindness: Our actions are guided with care and empathy to our clients, patients and co-workers.

3. Passion: We honor to maintain passion for our jobs and for the animals we treat.

Standard of Care:

The Animal Hospital aims to uphold the highest standard of care set forward by The American Animal Hospital Association. We will treat each patient as if it were our own, attempting to minimize stress, fear and provide the best quality medicine possible. If financial limitations arise which impact our ability to provide the best quality of medicine, we will offer resources to aid in providing the best quality care. We will honor our relationships with our clients by doing our best to communicate clearly and empathetically to best explain the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment options for their pets. If most appropriate referral to a specialist or emergency facility will be offered and or recommended. All doctors and staff will continue to better themselves through the aid or continuing education. The Animal Hospital promises to offer the best quality services by continuing to advance our technology and medicine.
