The Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic was built by Mark and Kathy Schaack in 1993. In the past, it has boasted four veterinarians and eighteen support staff. Satisfying clients' needs was always Dr. Schaack's top priority. Doctors came and went, and there were rumors that the clinic would actually close. On October 15, 2015, the Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic was purchased by Dr. Kristie Ponc
e and her husband, Mario. This was like coming home for Dr. Ponce, who had worked at the clinic under Dr. Schaack previously, and considers him one of her most important mentors. Having grown up in this community, Dr. Ponce feels that she is very aware of the needs of local pet owners. Our staff is a mix of old and new faces. Connie Friday-Saylor, Tammy Krause, and Roberta Shaurette have each been with the Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic for at least fifteen years. We have many hard working and knowledgeable new employees also. We have big plans for our clinic and our community, both now and in the future, and welcome you to come along for the ride!
