Masterson’s Veterinary Clinic was founded by Dr. Ralph Masterson in 1950. His daughter, Dr. Rhonda Masterson, joined the practice after graduating from The Ohio State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1987. Upon Dr. Ralph Masterson’s passing in 1989, Rhonda became a solo practitioner, providing care for small animals and farm animals in Perry County and the surrounding area including Lancaster, Newark, Logan, and other communities. Today, Masterson’s Veterinary Clinic has three full-time associates and one part-time associate in addition to Dr. Rhonda Masterson. Two of our associate veterinarians also offer farm animal services by appointment

Mission — Our practice takes pride in the fact that we are very family oriented. We believe in providing quality, personal care to our clients and their furry family members

What reviewers say

83% Positive sentiment
based on 648 reviews

The practice is widely regarded for its highly compassionate staff, knowledgeable veterinarians, and exceptionally affordable pricing compared to other area options. The facility is older and unassuming, but families appreciate the gentle handling of anxious pets, strong emergency response times for established patients, and heartfelt support during end-of-life care. However, appointment availability can be constrained, communication and phone access can be inconsistent, and wait times can occasionally be lengthy.
