The Animal Medical Center of New England is committed to optimizing patient care by providing the most progressive medical treatment available. While we take pride in our facility and advanced technology, we strive to maintain the “soft-touch” approach on which the hospital was originally founded. We are client-centered, working in conjunction with veterinarians throughout New England to offer the best diagnostic and treatment options to meet the needs of our community.
Today we are a spacious state-of-the-art facility offering emergency and referral services to veterinarians and clients throughout New England. The dream started with owner and founder, Dr. Leo Bishop, who, having a philosophy of “high tech-soft touch,” wanted to offer convenience and expertise to referring veterinarians and trust and compassion to clients.
After being on call for after-hours emergencies since beginning his practice in 1985, Dr. Bishop decided that the Animal Hospital of Nashua should serve as 24-hour emergency facility for other doctors. In 1998 he increased his staff to include dedicated emergency doctors and technicians who would be available for around-the-clock care. “It definitely took our hospital to a new level,” explains Dr. Bishop; “we can’t imagine doing it any other way.” Other practices and their clients recognized the benefits of 24-hour service and began to use the Animal Hospital of Nashua as their “emergency room” when their hospitals were not open.
By 2002 Dr. Bishop’s staff included 13 doctors and more than 50 support professionals; the hospital was outgrowing its space. The decision was made to build an adjacent facility, the “red barn,” which would become a larger Animal Hospital of Nashua, a very calm and controlled environment where doctors and nurses could take the time to provide wellness care for their patients. The original facility, the “white barn,” was renovated and became The Animal Medical Center of New England, a 24/7 emergency and critical care hospital, always available to help. The two hospitals were connected by a common diagnostic, surgery, and intensive care area, providing both hospitals with access to the most progressive services and technology. Construction and renovation were completed in October of 2004, and by February of 2005 the Animal Hospital of Nashua received AAHA accreditation.
To better meet his ideal of “high tech-soft touch” Dr. Bishop has expanded his veterinary staff to include specialists in surgery, emergency and critical care, and behavior medicine. His commitment to quality veterinary medicine includes education, the new facility offering conference rooms to present seminars for the staff, referring veterinarians and the public.
As the Animal Medical Center of New England expands its staff and technology to meet the needs of our community, Dr. Bishop continues to oversee progress with his same commitment to excellence and philosophy of “high tech-soft touch.”
We are committed to the best practices and best minds in the industry, being responsive to the needs of our community through active involvement in associations and professional organizations.
