We have four clinics which make up the "family" of Country Doctor Veteriarny Clinics. The Country Doctor Veterinary Clinic in Jefferson, Ohio, Geneva Veterinary Clinic in Geneva Ohio and the Conneaut Creek Veterinary Clinic in Conneaut Ohio and our newest the Harbor Veterinary Clinic in Ashtabula Ohio. All four are small animal general practice facilities. Our six DVM's offer a wide range of general practice professional services. We live our mission statement which is "to celebrate the bond between people and their pets. We will enhance the quality and quantity of life for both through excellence in patient care and client service." Simple and to the point. Dr. Curie believes this is the heart of why veterinary medicine exists.
Our doctors represent nearly 100 years of practice experience. Ranging from Dr. Curie with 41 years to our younger veterinarians who have been in practice7-15 years. This is a unique blend of old and new. We make it a point to always be open minded and learn from each other.
A veterinary student in our facilities will learn practical hands-on lessons in medicine, surgery, clinic and staff interactions and business management as well. Best medicine and best business practices are inseparable.

Students will be expected to actively participate in all aspects of daily practice. Ranging from of course medicine and surgery to staff interaction and developement, client communications, record keeping, management basics, etc. In general practice everyone has to be a team player and that means have a willing spirit to learn, participate and help everyone around you. No one is above any job or duty that arises.
Students will be encouraged to believe in themselves so they build confidence. This is a very important step in the transition from student to practioner. They will be mentored in the art of practice and expected to share their current cutting edge knowledge with the doctors and staff. They must remain open-minded and strive to blend their knowledge with our experience to leave with a better understanding of the real world of daily veterinary practice.
Our clinics are basically 8am -6 pm M-F and half days Saturday.
