Rodney Duncan, B.S., D.V.M.
I have been blessed
with loving what I do every day, caring
for the precious animal companions of our
valued clients.
Faced with many career choices in the early
60's, my decision to pursue veterinary medicine
was shaped by encouragement from my Dad
who valued "being your own boss",
love for the outdoors, and memorable weekends
spent participating in field trials with
our family's collection of German Shorthair
Pointers. My admission to Purdue University
School of Veterinary Medicine, class of
1972, was the highlight of my young adult
life. Throughout my veterinary school years,
I was fortunate to be associated with Michigan
Road Animal Hospital (MRAH) through summer
employment and my senior internship. Being
associated with a practice of the caliber
and reputation of MRAH was something I could
only daydream about. Little did I realize
that after a two year tour of service as
Base Veterinarian in the U.S.A.F. I would
return to MRAH as associate Veterinarian,
owner, and now Senior Partner. I am
truly blessed.
In order to remain a premier small animal
veterinary practice in Indianapolis, Indiana,
MRAH places great importance on challenging
it's Veterinarians, Technicians, Client
Service Associates, and Veterinary Assistants
to study and keep abreast of current veterinary
practices. I encourage all of my staff,
as well as myself, to grow through continuing
education workshops, veterinary conferences,
and in-hospital staff meetings to provide
the best quality service possible. I have also completed
a veterinary management program through
Krannert School of Business at Purdue University. I spend a significant amount of my time managing the practice.
Both my professional and personal life have been rich and rewarding. My wife Barbara and I have celebrated 35 years of marriage, and have three wonderful children.
Two cats, a Tonkanese "Kringle"
and a Persian "Merlin", and a French Bulldog "Lou-Lou" complete our household. Our family likes
to travel with our
favorite destinations being those that allow
us to Scuba dive and lay in the sun! I also serve as an Elder
in a local nondenominational church body,
and am blessed to be surrounded by caring
family and friends.
So... my Dad was wise in shaping my choice
of veterinary medicine. It has been a fulfilling
and challenging profession that I love.
However, he was wrong about one thing...
I am not "my own boss". Our valuable
clients are my "boss", and I have
made it my goal to work hard to be worthy
of the trust they put in me every day as
I serve them in providing the best medical
attention I can give.
