Overview

At The Downtown Veterinarian, we provide top-quality veterinary care and services to pets in our community. Our staff treats you like family and each pet like our own. We are honored and proud to be a partner in your pet's healthcare team. As pet owners ourselves, we believe that preventative care with wellness exams are the keys to your pet living a longer, healthier, and happier life. As a full-service veterinary office, we offer state-of-the-art testing and diagnostics, an array of advanced care, routine and advanced surgical procedures, and many other services to provide your pet with the best possible care

The Downtown Veterinarian opened its doors in March 1996. Nestled in the beautiful historic neighborhood of Chatham Arch, our hospital has become a familiar destination for both downtown neighbors as well as our many friends throughout central Indiana, including Carmel, Fishers, Geist, Greenwood and Zionsville. Our practice continues to grow and expand thanks to the loyal support of our clients; yet we will always strive to maintain the personal touch that has defined our hospital since its inception. The small town "feel" of Chatham Arch makes us feel very fortunate to belong to such a close-knit community. We have a staff of doctors, veterinary assistants, animal care attendants and customer service personnel devoted to providing the very best care for your beloved pets

Mission — The Downtown Veterinarian endeavors to promote the highest standard of companion animal health care for people who view their pets as extensions of their family. Devotion to providing a medical environment with compassion, technology and education as our goal has placed this hospital above the rest. The “Gentle Care Doctor” motto embraces our philosophy in practicing veterinary medicine
