Our current staff includes 3 DVMs, 3 RVTs, 6 VAs, and 4 CSRs. Typically, we have 2 DVMs per day, and some days one.
We do not have any specialists on staff. Most of our surgeries are routine, with no orthopedic procedures, but we do perform a lot of dentistry. A typical day involves 1 DVM in surgery from 8 AM to 1 PM while the other DVM handles appointments, then both DVMs take appointments in the afternoon. DVMs rotate surgery days.
Our hours of operation are 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, and 8 AM to 12 PM on Saturday. We are closed on Sunday.
VCA Lakota Hills Animal Hospital has been serving dogs and cats in West Chester, Liberty Township, Fairfield, Hamilton, and Mason communities since 1976. We offer a spacious reception area, coffee bar, children’s play area, 5 examination rooms, a consultation/comfort room, separate glassed in ICU wards for feline and canine patients, a double surgical suite with heated tables, a dental alcove with digital dental radiology, a radiology area with a digital x-ray unit, an on site laboratory, and an in-clinic pharmacy.
Our externship experiences at VCA are tailored to meet the needs of each student. Typically, our program pairs the student with a licensed veterinarian to shadow and collaborate on various cases presented to our facility. The student will perform or assist in completing physical examinations, create plans to determine specific diagnoses, participate in treatment option discussions, help the doctor with notes (practicing/observing how to write a medical record), and engage in other patient-related tasks.
Our hours of operation are 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, and 8 AM to 12 PM on Saturday. We are closed on Sunday.
