Phillips Animal Hospital, OH

Description of Elective Experience: 

Phillips Animal Hospital is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. Our practice thrives on compassionate fear-free animal care, personal client service, and a pleasant working environment for the staff. We have a strong relationship with a local shelter and can arrange 1-2 spays or neuters at our clinic for the extern to gain more experience. The extern will also be asked to take at least one appointment a day with supervision from history taking to treatment and discharge. The rest of the time will be filled with surgical and veterinary observation.

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.: 

We are a busy, two-veterinarian practice with a well-stocked pharmacy, an in-hospital surgery suite, a dental unit with high speed drill, an in-house x-ray, and in-house laboratory capabilities. We have one licensed vet technician and 2 assistants in addition to the front office staff.
