What got you into veterinary medicine? My father was a veterinarian back in Michigan, so as a second generation veterinarian, I guess you could say it's in my blood.
There are many variations on the veterinary clinic. As the business owner, what are your goals with your clinics? I think our mission statement sums it up pretty well..."We continually strive to provide the most compassionate care for our patients, provide the highest level of service for our clients, and create a nurturing and secure environment in which our 'clinic family' can flourish and grow personally and professionally."

As we look into the future, how is the field of veterinary medicine changing? We are lucky to live in a time in which veterinary medicine is such an exciting and dynamic field. There are always new advances, new tests, better materials and medications, and new treatment options. The ability to help pets is better than ever before, and it continues to improve as we look into the future.
What is the greatest challenge you face during your day? The challenges of veterinary medicine can be a rewarding as they are frustrating. Every day I see patients that have challenging symptoms and complicated cases, but it's such a great feeling to know you have the ability to sort that all out and get these guys back on track.

What are some things that make our clinics different? I think when you walk in the front door, you notice how friendly and personable everyone is. You really get the sense that the staff cares about your pet. It's a much different vibe from a large practice where you can feel like just a number.
What is a typical day like for you as a doctor? It can vary quite a bit. Usually, we start first off with anesthetic procedures like dental cleanings or surgeries so that our patients have plenty of recovery time and can go home the same day. Then we move onto seeing appointments. That usually is vaccinations or appointments for sick patients, but we also get a lot of last minute urgent cases that we try to sneak in the same day if possible. With an in-house lab and x-rays, there is a lot we can do on short notice if a patient isn't feeling well.

What are some of the tools you utilize to help your patients? Here at the clinic there are a variety of tools we rely on. We have an in-house lab to get fast results on critical patients, we have x-rays and ultrasound for same-day imaging results, plus tono-pens, dental x-rays, and a variety of other tools at our disposal. Our techs are great, too, and will even give our clients a call a day or two after their appoint to check in and see how things are going.
How does this impact your patients? Being able to utilize in-house medical equipment makes a big impact on patient care. The faster we can get test results and information, the faster we can get treatment started. In the end, hopefully this results in a speedy recovery for those patients with medical conditions.
