Stonyridge Veterinary Service, Inc., OH

Description of Elective Experience: 

Our practice is a mostly small animal practice, with surgeries scheduled every week day.  We do some large animal work, along with some primates and exotics.  We have ultrasound, digital radiography, in house laboratory and lasers (both cutting and therapy lasers).  We also offer acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, rehab, manual and mechanical (VOM/VMR) chiropractic and we rely to an extent on nutrition and supplements instead of solely on medicines.  We have office hours until 9 pm during the week and until 4 on Saturdays with 1 part-time and 2 full-time veterinarians.  We employ 1 part-time and 6 full-time technicians.  What all this means to the student is that we offer a broad experience with lots of mentorship from both veterinarians and technicians.  Our goal is to have the student see cases, make and present treatment plans and do anesthesia and surgery.
