As we prepare for the 4th of July holiday below are some good things to keep in mind to care for your furry family members.

06/24/2024

We hope everyone is having a great summer. We wanted to get notice out to everyone about our July 4th holiday hours so you can prepare accordingly. With that in mind we will be closed July 4th and 5th to allow our staff to celebrate our great country with family and friends. Prior to this week we enourage everyone to call or message in with any prescription requests or concerns regarding your family pet needs. We thank you and hope you have a safe and fun 4th of July holiday this year.

God Bless America!!!

We have been receiving messages on our voicemail. Our phone system did not switch to leave a message that we are not open today in honor of Memorial Day. We apologize for the confusion. Our staff will be back at 8:00 am tomorrow and will respond to all messages in the order they were received.

As we grow as a clinic we continue to look for ways to better assist our clients. Over the last 12 months our clinic has grown exponentially and we are so thankful for all our clients and our patients. Some of the things we have implemented to help us serve you is a new phone system. This phone system allows us to auto text clients to ask for information to help us in our response while we are likely dealing with a existing call or even a waiting client in our lobby. We have seen this help in answering simple questions that maybe don't require a longer call. Another thing we recently implemented is a robust practice management system that has many options to assist in gathering pre appointment information so when you come to our clinic it simplifies our check in experience. With this new system we also have a very user friendly Patient portal that you can use to access your pets history, see what care is coming due, view and download invoices along with making payments. If you are a client of Northern Hope Veterinary Care you can access your information by visiting the link below. As we move forward we do value feedback on how these tools are working or if you have thoughts on how we can make your experience better. We are thankful for each person who enters our doors and look forward to serving you in the future.

We want to thank everyone for your patience this week. We are going through the process of changing to a new practice management software. This process brings alot of challenges and is slowing us down as we learn. We recognize this is a inconvenience to our clients in the short term, but will greatly benefit you in the long term. We are blessed by many of you and just wanted to thank you all for your patience. If you are trying to reach us and we are not answering please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

We want to let everyone know that we are experiencing intermittent phone service at our clinic.

We ask that you be patient as we wait and work with our provider on when we will be back up and fully operational again.

In a effort to help us with incoming phone volume we are making a switch to a new phone system next Wednesday January 10th. From 8:30 am to approximately 10:00 am that morning our phone system will be down as we make all the changes necessary. We ask for everyone to be patient with us during this transition. You may try reaching us through email during that time and we will do our best to respond as soon as our phone system is back up and running.
