Mayo Clinic meets Chick-fil-A meets Cheers
If we could best describe ourselves in one statement, this is it!
- We strive to emulate the level of excellence and compassionate care found at The Mayo Clinic.
- We provide the above-and-beyond friendly customer service that Chick-fil-A is known for.
- We want to be the place "where everybody knows your name."
The Hometown Veterinarian was founded to be something different when it comes to veterinary medicine. We set out to prove that a "hometown" business can offer the level of high-quality care thought only to be found in national-scale referral hospitals. We believe this can be done while maintaining a hometown feel and genuine care for the people and animals that we serve.
We work to make our a hospital a place that people enjoy coming to. We maintain low-stress practices to keep our animal patients happy and healthy and do all we can to let them know that this is a good place. Veterinary visits don't need to be scary.
When Dr. Jacobson speaks with prospective veterinarians, he makes sure to point out that, "If you don't like getting to know your clients and being greeted by them in the grocery store, we are probably not the best choice for you." We are part of our community and want to keep it that way!
Our core values are Service, Compassion, & Healing
- Service: We understand that veterinary medicine is a profession of service. We serve people. We serve pets. We serve each other.
- Compassion: We have compassion for animals but we also understand the emotional distress that a sick or injured pet causes for a pet owner.
- Healing: We heal animals every day. We also heal people by understanding that everyone is broken in some way and a simple smile or a kind word can help heal hearts. We aim to heal the profession by recognizing the stress veterinary professionals face and supporting each other as positive examples.
