We are a high volume low cost spay neuter clinic. We also do wellness and preventative medicine and minor health issues.
No emergencies, chronically or injured animals.
We average 25 plus surgeries a day. We see a great deal of wellness every day as well.
I try to give students all the hands on experience we can give them. My staff is excellent with students. We work with a couple RVT programs helping them teach surgery assistance, in house labs, blood draws, surgery prep and recovery plsu day to day operations from check in to check out.
It is rare that student ever leaves here without having learned something unless we feel student is incapable or incompetent...that is rare but it has happened. If I feel a students knowledge level or ability levels is sub par and detrimental to animals or humans here, I will dismiss them. I have done this twice.
We have even worked with local hospital to teach pediattric residents to intubate cats for surgery. If they can tube a cat, a baby is easy..and if it saves a childs life, it is worth it. We had one resident who was pediatric plastic surgeon..who knew..beautiful skin closures all day long! He even assisted me on leg amputation and I let him close it. He even came back to take out the stitches!
We work with rescues and shelters on a daily basis. We do humane cases as needed and able. We are the primary spay neuter veterinrarian for at least 3 shelters.
We have been particularly busy this year. We will pass 4000 or more by Thanksgiving. We have already vaccinated over 4000 animals for rabies this year as I had to re order tags!!!!
My philosophy is something my mentor Dr Beckett once said to me, you got to start somewhere.
We are fast paced. We do like have fun, we do laugh, poke fun at silly things, there is an occaisional prank, but at the end of the day the animals are priority and things are taken care of.

We allow veterinary students to shadow the doctors during the examination and discussion with the owners. Given COVID, we currently are not allowing clients into the hospital, so there will be opportunity for the student to perform physical exams and make their own assessment of cases.
