Welcome to Hearthstone Animal Clinic!
Thank you for trusting us with the care of your beloved pets. At Hearthstone Animal Clinic, we operate a little differently than some larger, corporate-owned veterinary practices, and we believe in being transparent about what you can expect. Here's what makes us unique:
Why Choose a Single-Doctor Practice?
Personalized Care With 25 years of experience, I (Dr. Steve Pelton) personally oversee the care of every patient. Over time, I get to know you and your pets, building a relationship that allows for more consistent and tailored care.
Family Atmosphere We’re not a corporate practice with rotating doctors. You won’t be shuffled between multiple veterinarians who don’t know your pet’s history. Here, we offer continuity of care and a personal touch.
Reasonable Pricing Unlike many corporate clinics, our pricing is competitive, and we strive to provide value without cutting corners on quality.
How We Manage Care for a Growing Clientele
One Veterinarian, Many Pets As the sole doctor at the clinic, I can’t always meet every client face-to-face during a busy day. However, my team and I ensure that your pet is thoroughly cared for, with detailed home-care instructions provided to keep you fully informed.
Drop-Off Appointments For times when we’re fully booked, our drop-off system is an efficient option that works well for most pets and their owners. Your pet will receive attentive care, and we’ll keep you updated with a treatment plan and clear next steps.
Communication Through Our Team While I may not always be able to speak with you directly, our skilled technicians are here to answer questions and relay messages. For more in-depth concerns, you’re always welcome to email me.
Embracing Digital Efficiency
To provide the best care possible to a growing number of clients, we rely heavily on digital and text communication. This allows us to handle multiple clients and tasks more efficiently, ensuring faster responses and updates. Whether it's sharing test results, discussing treatment plans, or answering quick questions, this system keeps things moving smoothly while still keeping you informed.
Is Our Clinic the Right Fit for You?
We understand that our personalized, small-practice approach isn’t for everyone. If it’s important to you to always have face-to-face time with the doctor, a larger practice with multiple veterinarians may suit your needs better. However, keep in mind that corporate clinics often have higher prices and less consistency in care, as you may see a different doctor at each visit.
We’re proud to offer compassionate, consistent care in a way that best serves our community. If this sounds like a good fit for you, we’re excited to partner with you in your pet’s health journey!
