About Us
At Newberry Animal Hospital Main Street, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, high-quality veterinary care with an emphasis on exceptional client service and patient care. Our mission is to offer customized basic to advanced veterinary medicine and surgery that is accessible to everyone. We strive to inspire and nurture the human spirit by serving animal health in the community with excellence, compassion, and integrity.
Our journey began in 1990 when Dr. Jeff Philpot founded Newberry Animal Hospital in the small town of Newberry, just a few miles west of Gainesville. The hospital started as a rural, mixed animal practice with a single doctor who truly cared for both people and pets. Dr. Philpot's love for beagles and fishing was matched only by his love for his clients. Although Dr. Philpot's passing in 2008 was a significant loss, his spirit continues to be a huge part of Newberry Animal Hospital, impacting everyone who knew him.
Over the years, we have grown and expanded to meet the evolving needs of our community. In 2012, we rebranded and opened two more clinics in Gainesville, Florida. We also acquired a holistic location in Gainesville, which provides a more eastern approach to veterinary care. This addition allows us to offer a broader range of services, including holistic pet care options like pet acupuncture and laser therapy. These services help speed up healing and enhance the effects of your pet's current treatment plan.
At Newberry Animal Hospital Main Street, we are committed to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for both pets and their owners. Our team is passionate about delivering high-quality care that is tailored to each pet's unique needs. We believe in promoting a healthy and happy life for all animals, and we strive to build long-lasting relationships with our clients. Whether you are a downtown professional, a family of students at the University of Florida, or someone from Hawthorne, Melrose, or Palatka who works or goes to school in Gainesville, we are here to serve you and your beloved pets.
We are proud to be part of Gainesville's renovation and revitalization efforts, located in the heart of the city. Our Main Street location is within walking distance of Camp Run-a-Mutt and First Magnitude, making it convenient for many of our clients. We are not corporately-owned, and our ability to sustain a local business is based solely on our medical care and service. Your satisfaction as a client is our top priority, and we are committed to helping you and your pets thrive.
