My Take Tuesday: Best of Utah Valley 2024

Mountain West Animal Hospital has once again been voted the Best Veterinary Center in Utah Valley for 2024. This is our 11th consecutive year receiving this honor.

This recognition comes thanks to a wonderful and dedicated team. I simply cannot get through the day without the extraordinary help of each one of them. They provide the individualized care and compassion that make our hospital so unique.

Our lead veterinary technician, Katie, and our veterinary assistants Jay and Sara are the unsung heroes of your pet’s veterinary care team. They take radiographs, perform dental cleanings, monitor anesthesia, fill prescriptions and a myriad of other tasks. Jordan, our office manager, runs the ins and outs of the day-to-day operations. Her job is so important, and she does a wonderful job showing kindness and empathy to all.

Without these devoted professionals, my office would be a sea of chaos and confusion. They are my right hand and my left. They work in a high-stress environment, putting in long hours, caring for ill and anxious pets, cleaning messes, and putting themselves at risk of physical harm. They do this because they care. They care about each of our clients and their four-legged family members.

Our doctors are each unique and are dedicated to the profession. Dr. LeMonds works tirelessly to treat and diagnose difficult cases. She provides excellent care to each patient that she sees and communicates the complex nature of medicine in a manner that clients can understand. Dr. King also helps at the clinic when scheduling permits. His kind demeanor is endearing to clients and his presence provides a sense of comfort that helps in the difficult end of life decisions that require extreme care and empathy.

Mountain West Animal Hospital was built in 1977. We have been serving the Springville community for nearly 45 years. Our founder, Dr. Harold J. Davis built this clinic and business with a solid foundation of honesty, a friendly atmosphere and the practice of quality veterinary medicine and surgery. Dr. Davis continues to work each Wednesday at the clinic, and his service is so appreciated.

Looking back at our heritage, we are proud to espouse the values that Dr. Davis first envisioned. Although the building has changed colors and we are constantly updating our technology, the business remains the same. Our mission is to provide the best possible veterinary care for our patients by maintaining and utilizing state of the art facilities and equipment, and by employing and developing a well-trained competent and caring staff. We strive to provide friendly, compassionate service to our clients in an atmosphere of professionalism, respect, and concern. We want your experience with us to be a good one.

We are deeply grateful to have been voted Best of Utah Valley once again in 2024.

Thank you, Utah Valley, we’re truly honored!

And that is my take.
