About Us
At Dewitt Veterinary Medical Center, we are dedicated to honoring the special bond between humans and animals. Our single-doctor veterinary hospital is owned and operated by Dr. Marcus K. Bumgardner, who brings over three decades of experience in caring for pets. Whether your pet needs routine care, management of a chronic disease, or treatment of a sudden onset illness, we are here to provide the compassionate and thorough care your furry family member deserves.
Our commitment to transparency and patient comfort is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that a trip to the doctor should be as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. That's why we ensure that all procedures are conducted with your full presence and understanding. Our focus is on providing personalized attention and addressing any questions or concerns you may have about your pet's health.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to keep your pet healthy and happy. Our services include:
- Wellness Exams: Routine physical exams allow us to monitor your pet's health. During these exams, we review your pet's history and perform a thorough examination from snout to tail. We schedule all office visits with Dr. Bumgardner to ensure ample time for any questions or concerns you may have about your pet's health. Annual wellness exams are recommended, and as your pet ages, these exams may be needed more frequently to monitor aging conditions closely.
- Vaccinations: Vaccinations are crucial for protecting your pet against highly contagious and potentially deadly diseases. We tailor our vaccine schedules to your pet's lifestyle, age, and vaccine history to ensure they receive the best possible protection.
- Dental Health: Just like humans, dental health plays a significant role in maintaining optimal health for your pet. An important component of a physical exam is assessing your pet's dental health. If dental disease is detected, we often recommend a routine dental cleaning. These procedures are done under general anesthesia for the safety of both your animal and our staff. A full dental exam allows further investigation into dental health, including removal of large pieces of tartar, ultrasonic scaling, measurements of periodontal depth, and polishing of all teeth. Any extractions or other required procedures are then performed.
- Surgery: We offer surgical services ranging from routine spay and neuters to more specialized surgeries. If your pet's surgical requirements are better suited for a board-certified surgeon, we will work with you in the referral process to ensure your pet receives the top level of care.
- Sick Visits: We understand the stress of having a pet under the weather. Our in-house laboratory allows us to begin diagnostics on the spot, yielding quick results. Combined with our on-site pharmacy, we often create one-stop care to efficiently help your pet get back on the road to recovery quickly.
At Dewitt Veterinary Medical Center, we are committed to providing compassionate, thorough care that removes as much fear and stress as possible.
