Animal Hospital of Waterford

Animal Hospital of Waterford We are a five-doctor, mixed-animal practice located in Waterford, Pennsylvania. We also cover part of Chautauqua County, NY.

The friendly, small-town atmosphere is one thing that founder of the practice, Dr. Robert Bell was looking for when he decided to open the doors of this veterinary practice in May of 1997. Animal Hospital of Waterford, P.C., found its humble beginnings in a small, storefront office about ½ mile down the road from where the office now stands. First providing services on plywood and a couple saw hor

ses as an exam table (for some of our VERY first small animal clients), and a single large-animal work truck, our office has since grown to progressive, proactive, modern veterinary hospital with 3 full-time veterinarians on staff. Our small animal hospital consists of a welcoming reception area, five exam rooms, a consult room, a surgery suite, and a fully-stocked treatment area. A designated x-ray room with digital developing equipment allows us to take and evaluate radiographs within minutes. Full, in-house Idexx laboratory equipment allows us to run blood and urine samples in-clinic and enables prompt treatment of critical cases. We provide full anesthetic services with complete biometric monitoring for all surgical procedures. All after-hours emergency work for our small animal clients is provided by the NWPA Pet Emergency Clinic in Erie, PA. For our large animal clients, we have 2 fully-stocked, large-animal mobile veterinary units that are on the road full time, providing routine and emergency service to our clients throughout most of Erie County as well as parts of Crawford and Warren Counties in PA. After hours emergency services are provided to our established large animal clientele via our very own paging network.

We are very happy to announce that we have added a sixth doctor to our practice! We are so excited to have Dr. Julia Hamilton join the Animal Hospital of Waterford family! She is even from the Erie area, so we didn't have to convince her to move into our weird weather patterns. She's already used to it!

Dr. Hamilton earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from The Ohio State University. Originally from Erie County, she is a graduate of Seneca High School. She went on to receive her Bachelor’s degree from Penn State University, where she worked at the campus dairy barns and discovered her passion for large animal medicine!

Dr. Hamilton is excited to return to the local community and serve the area she calls home. Outside of work, she enjoys baking, spending time with friends and family, and relaxing with her cat, Eleanor, and her Husky, Willow.

We hope everyone has been having a great holiday weekend! The hospital is closed today, in observance of the holiday, bu...
