Stonecliff Animal Clinic is a high quality 5 doctor AAHA certified small animal practice with a very high referral surgical caseload. We have 2 locations, the larger of the two houses the general practice and routine surgeries and dentistry procedures are performed there. The small facility located about 1/2 mile from the general practice is dedicated to advanced surgeries, primarily orthopedic referrals. We performed over 250 TPLO surges last year as well as other routine orthopedic procedures, soft tissue surgeries and fracture repair. Dr. Daniel Kelly performs all of the advanced surgeries. He is not board certified but has been performing advanced surgeries on a referral basis for veterinary practices in NH, VT and MA for over 20 years.
It will be a mixture of small animal medicine, and mixed large animal medicine and surgery. With time frame that this is being is done, fair veterinarian regulatory experience.

We are the newest hospital in a well established group of clinics in Buffalo NY. This includes our clinic, North Buffalo Animal Hospital, as well as Ellicott Street Animal Hospital and West Side Pet Clinic, the first and only low cost clinic in WNY. We currently have 2 full time DVMs that consider us their home base, and 3 rotating doctors shared between the clinics. We are a general practice seeing dogs and cats, providing preventative care and well as diagnostic visits, dentistry and surgery (including orthopedics!). We currently see appts 5 days a week, and have surgery on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but hope to be up to 4 surgery days by next year. Students will spend time with DVMs with varying experience and interests, participating in general exams, treatment planning and execution, and surgery, as well as experience running lab work with our LVTs.
Students shadow senior clinicians during daily rounds, for appointments and procedures. Students encouraged to participate in case management discussion with clinicians, perform physical examinations, participate in procedures when able, and are expected to take advantage of our in house library and online resource library to deepen their knowledge and develop insight into the cases they are seeing.
This will be a clinical experience focusing on small animal medicine, specifically urgent/emergency care.
Externs will receive an orientation where they are given a tour of the clinic, shown protocols for check-in and triage and taught to use the computer software EzyVet with Smartflow sheets. Externs will always be directly supervised by attending clinician or senior technician while on shift. Externs will perform physical exams on all triaged patients and shadow in exam rooms/on the floor with the on shift clinician. They will present their physical exam findings, problem list, diagnostic and treatment plan to the attending. The attending clinician is responsible for creating estimates, invoices and all client communication. The extern will type the medical record for the attending clinician to review. If the patient is admitted for diagnostics and hospitalization the extern will be given the opportunity to pull blood, position for radiographs, perform FAST ultrasounds under supervision of attending and place IV catheters.
Externs will be allowed to scrub in for abdominal procedures and act as a surgical assistant as long as it does not impede on an interns learning experience.
