About Us
At Animal Medical Center, we are dedicated to providing top-notch veterinary care to our furry friends and their families. Our journey began in 1986 when Dr. Janet Ackerman opened our doors with a clear vision: to promote the health and well-being of companion animals and horses. Over the years, we have grown into a trusted and compassionate veterinary hospital, committed to delivering the best possible care for your pets.
Our team is comprised of experienced and passionate professionals who share a deep love for animals. From our expert groomer, Lori Ashe, who can transform your pet into a runway model, to our skilled receptionists like Crystal Cromer and Amber Dorpinghaus, who greet you with a smile and care for your pets as if they were their own. Our staff includes Dr. Janet Ackerman, who has over 40 years of experience in veterinary medicine, and Bonnie Smith, who takes care of the bookkeeping and business needs of the practice. Each member of our team brings a unique set of skills and a genuine passion for animal care.
We offer a wide range of services designed to keep your pets healthy and happy. Our services include preventive medicine, which helps protect your pet from many harmful illnesses and enhances their quality of life. We believe in the importance of regular check-ups, as pets age about seven times faster than humans, making these visits crucial for maintaining their health. Our state-of-the-art digital x-ray equipment allows us to produce high-quality radiographs that can be transmitted to specialists for consultation, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care.
In addition to our medical services, we provide clean, pleasant, flea-free, and climate-controlled boarding facilities for when your pet needs a home-away-from-home. Our boarding facilities ensure your pets are comfortable and well-cared for during their stay, with all dogs leash walked outdoors multiple times per day. We also offer grooming services, including baths, nail trims, haircuts, and more, all done with love and care by our expert groomer, Lori Ashe.
At Animal Medical Center, we understand the importance of preventive care. We tailor your pet's vaccination program according to its needs, risk factors, age, and history. We also provide in-house testing for parasites, such as heartworms, fleas, and ticks, which is simple, safe, and effective. Our goal is to help your pet live a long and healthy life, and we are committed to making that a reality.
We believe in the value of preventive medicine and the importance of regular check-ups. Our Well-Patient Care program is designed to prevent illness and maintain good health. We offer a variety of services, including bloodwork, which gives us a comprehensive view of your pet's health. We also provide advice on housebreaking tips and common behavioral issues with both cats and dogs during your office visits.
At Animal Medical Center, we are not just a veterinary hospital; we are a family. We look forward to creating a relationship with you and a lifetime healthcare plan for your furry family member. We offer loving, gentle hands to care for your pets, and we are dedicated to providing the best possible care for your beloved companions.
