Our Team

Our veterinarians desire to serve companion animals with compassion and competence. We will work together to ensure your pet receives the best possible care from an experienced veterinarian here at our animal hospital in Indianapolis, IN. Some of the services we specialize in are dentistry, diagnostics, emergencies, and more!

Our Veterinarians

At any given time, Michigan Road Animal Hospital employs about 20-22 support staff as well as our four veterinarians. Our group of animal care providers and animal lovers have one mission: to meet and exceed your pet’s needs using compassionate, progressive, quality medical care. Our staff meets regularly for staff development and educational meetings. These meetings help keep us on top of any changes in veterinary medicine, provide us with team-building opportunities, and offer us the time to discuss how to serve you better.
