We have been serving the community for 40 years and have been AAHA accredited for over 30 years.

Dr. Greg Lorenz (now partnered with Evervet Partners) has owned and run the practice for 15 years. We currently have 6 doctors and moved to our newly built facility in late 2018. The building is approximately 6700 square feet.
Our well-equipped and modern facility includes 6 dedicated exam rooms plus a multi-purpose exam/euthanasia/procedures room. We also have a large, open treatment area with 3 procedure stations (including a gurney/lift table) as well as 2 dental/wet tables, an incubator/oxygen cage, and a surgery suite with 2 tables. Our hospital also includes a cat ward with boarding kennels and condos, a dog ward with kennels and glass front runs, an ICU/recovery ward with both a run and kennels with oxygen availability, and an Isolation ward with separate entrance/kennels/fold down exam table. We also have a staff lounge with lockers and a kitchen.

Our diagnostics include digital radiography, digital dental radiography, and ultrasound. We have a full in-house reference lab for blood analysis as well as utilization ofAntech as our reference lab; additional labwork can be sent to Zoetis and Veterinary College Diagnostic labs when needed.

We practice high quality medicine and surgery. Three of our doctors have over 20 years of experience and two have between 3 and 5 years of experience. We routinelycollaborate and work together on cases and share caseloads. We share a rotation for coverage on weekends (one shift every 6 weeks) and holidays.
AHW operates at an LVT to doctor ratio in excess of 2:1, plus utilizes multiple veterinary assistants, so that our doctors can focus on diagnostics, treatment, and surgery. Additionally, we very much support the advancement of our veterinary staff’s specialty interests.
We are open to considering all experience levels but are looking for an associate veterinarian with well-rounded clinical and surgical skills along with an outgoing, friendly personality and outstanding communication skills.
