Everyone is encouraged to be open about mistakes so we can correct them & learn from each other
We are committed to staying positive & supportive of each other; all team members sign a Team Agreement, to help avoid gossip
We have an inclusive, diverse work environment– any form of exclusionary behavior is not tolerated
We encourage friendly, meaningful interactions between team members with team building events at work and fun outings outside of business hours
We genuinely care about our clients; when they share their major life events with us, we send them Get Well, Congratulations, and Thinking of You cards
Our client retention rate is high, with many returning to us with their pets, generation after generation
What Our Team Says
I believe in the medicine that we practice and trust that it’s the best quality of care for our patients. I also value the bond that we as a practice have built with each other; I can always count on any of my teammates.
Karly Shimerka, LVT
I love working at OFVH because to me it’s not just a clinic but a community where I can fully express both my love of animals and my desire to make all clients and patients feel truly taken care of. I have great trust in each doctor and consistently witness a level of humanity that reassures me that I’m at the right clinic.
Sarah Miller, Receptionist
OFVH is a family owned veterinary practice that operates with a positive team environment. This is a practice that provides veterinarians with all the tools needed to consistently deliver high quality medicine to our patients. The clients we serve are very receptive to DVM diagnosis and treatment plans further allowing the pursuit of best care for their pets. From DVM rounds and whole hospital staff meetings to staff socials and holiday parties we are a veterinary hospital that likes to practice high quality medicine and still have lots of fun!
