West Orange Animal Hospital is a private small animal exclusive general practice. We provide comprehensive preventive care, internal medicine, and surgical services (dental procedures, spay/neuter, soft tissue, orthopedic, etc).
We look forward to hosting a veterinary student at our practice to allow them to see what general practice is all about. Animal Medical Centre of Medina is a 4 doctor practice that practices high quality medicine and surgery. Beyond vaccinations and well care exams, we are proud to work up advanced medical cases using digital radiographs and ultrasound and we offer soft tissue, dental and orthopedic surgery. We have a grooming and boarding facility as well. Students can observe physical exams and surgery at the beginning and work on practicing their blood draw, catheters, lab and radiographic techniques. As the time progresses, along with supervision, we will allow the students to assist and participate in surgery and case exams and work up. We hope to help the student practice interpreting bloodwork and radiographs and aid in coming up with treatment plans and medication doses. If the student has a particular goal or hope, we hope to have them achieve this.
