Worthington Woods Animal Care Center is a 4 doctor small animal hospital that sees primarily dogs and cats and the occasional pocket pet or rabbit.

We see wellness and illness appointments as well as surgeries( spays, neuters, stomach tacks, tumor removals, GI fb's, bladder stones, amputations, enucleations, COHATs with extractions and dental radiology). We will hospitalize stable patients overnight but if critical will refer. We will see emergencies during our hours of operation (8am-6pm).

We work closely with local specialists that come to our hospital to perform surgeries and do ultrasounds. We also refer to MedVet and OSU for the more complicated cases.

We have an in house lab to run bloodwork and a microscope for  reading skin / fna cytology and reading urinary sediment. We have digital radiology as well as dental radiology and a high speed drill for extractions.  We have a companion animal cold laser. All surgeries are monitored by a veterinary nurse as well as a monitoring system.  We have a doppler for BP's and an Tonovet for ocular pressures.

The student will be involved with seeing a full daily schedule of appointments throughout the week as well as one day devoted to surgery/dental procedures.

The student will be able to interact with and observe other doctors in the practice if she would like to learn other perspectives and treatment ideas or observe their surgeries.

The student and I will work as a team to communicate with owners, examine patients in exam rooms ( or see drop off appointments), create differential diagnosis lists, order testing, create treatment plans ( and options for owners) , provide treatment to patients, and follow up on the patients.
