Downs & Smith Center Veterinary Clinic

Downs & Smith Center Veterinary Clinic The Downs/Smith Center Veterinary Clinics are mixed animal practices. Here for your large and small

The Downs/Smith Center Veterinary Clinics are a mixed animal practice with heavy emphasis on food animal veterinary care. We are a two clinic practice that has been well established in the communities, but has young leadership. The practice is split approximately 70% large animal and 30% small animal. The large animal practice is primarily cow/calf with some backgrounding and feedlot producers. We

currently have three veterinarians that will be willing to mentor new graduates. Support staff consists of three veterinary assistants, receptionist, kennel help, and a business manager. We pride ourselves on our friendly environment and our ability to provide quality care at reasonable rates. We believe in treating others as we would want to be treated and this is an important part of our business model. Our community, employees, clients and patients are all important at the Downs/Smith Center Veterinary Clinics. We strive to provide a professional, relaxed work environment where people know you by name and depend on the same friendly faces taking care of their needs.

If you haven't heard we have new faces at the clinic!

And a few faces that will be out of the office for some time, but not gone. Dr. Kristin and Dillon were recently blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Welcome, Rory! So as expected, she will be out of the office for several weeks while they grow into their family of 3. We look forward to having her back and will be placing surgical appointments on a wait list and scheduling when she returns. In the mean time you can still get service at both the Downs and Smith Center Clinic locations for other needs from Dr. Stephen who is working with both of our veterinary assistants to be sure to get your needs met. In additon to welcoming miss Rory, we also want to formally introduce Shelby Maydew, our newest veterinary assistant. Some of you may already be familiar with Shelby as a previous work study student and intern during high school. Shelby is going to be our main go to girl at the Downs office! If you haven't already heard Samantha will be at the Downs school in the morning serving the high school as a science teacher, but will be back each afternoons to help our clients out with scheduling requests. We are gearing up for a big year around here with new family, new faces, new roles, and in May an additional VET! (Tara we can 't wait to get you started!) What an exciting year. With change can come a few challenges, but we have a great team who is ready to tackle them together. As always, thank you all for your continued patronage and being a part of our team.
