Brief history of Animal Clinic East

In the early 1980’s, Animal Clinic East was opened as a small satellite clinic in the Eastgate North business park. Three years later, the clinic moved to North Wilbur. The move to the present location on Isaacs and Roosevelt occurred in 1989. In 2003, the facility was renovated, expanding the clinic to 5,500 square feet and providing the Grooming Center with an adjacent 1,000 square foot facility. In July of 2005, Animal Clinic East was nationally recognized with an award of merit as one of ten outstanding new veterinary hospitals in the nation.
