About us
We are a steadily growing, independently owned mixed animal practice established in 2025 by our passionate husband-and-wife veterinary team, Dr. Mark and Dr. Rebecca Turney. As part of a supportive three-clinic network, we combine the warmth of a small-town family atmosphere with “big city” capabilities, featuring a fully integrated paperless system, digital radiography, ultrasound, and laser therapy.
Our leadership loves both small animal and large animal medicine, raising their own cattle, nurturing their own pets, and fostering a culture where every team member is considered a leader. We pride ourselves on providing compassionate care to our community, regardless of budget, in an environment where a positive team culture and success through client education are always top of mind.
The office is very clean and the staff is very kind! my dog is 13 years old with high anxiety so they brought her a blanket to lay on in the room. she was also dehydrated so they brought a fresh bowl of water. highly recommend! – Nicole V – Google Review
