We are located about 2 hours east of Columbus just off I-70. New Horizon is a multi-doctor small animal hospital staffed 24 hours. We do a lot of emergencies, critical care/ ICU, soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries (bone plating but no TPLOs or THRs), chemotherapy (excluding radiation), dental surgery, preventive medicine, spays/ neuters. We work closely with several rescue organizations and animal shelters. We have always had a good relationship with Ohio State as our primary refer center and for consultations (ask Steph or Dr. Dyce if they think time at New Horizon with Dr. Puskarich or Dr. Jim Moore would be well spent). I think any student here will get practical, real world experience and enjoy the atmosphere.
