Why choose Georgetown Veterinary Clinic?

Georgetown Veterinary Clinic is a 5-doctor small animal practice in Georgetown, Indiana with over 35 years of community roots — and one of the most impressive facilities you'll find in the region. The 8,000 sq ft purpose-built hospital was designed by the founder herself and features 6 exam rooms, 2 surgery suites, a large treatment room, ultrasound, digital dental radiographs, acupuncture, on-site boarding and doggy daycare, and even an on-site gym for staff. This is not a typical small-town clinic.

The culture here is easy to describe: gold-standard medicine, a genuinely goofy bunch, and a firm belief that work should actually be fun. The team socializes outside of work, laughs with clients, and takes the medicine seriously without taking themselves too seriously. Team cohesion has been strong and stable since 2019 — and that's not by accident. This is a legacy practice founded in 1988 and now led by the founder's daughter as Medical Director, and the family-rooted culture runs through everything they do.

Located just 20 minutes from Louisville, KY, Georgetown offers affordable Indiana living with full access to a vibrant city with great food, outdoor recreation, professional sports, and everything else a major metro has to offer.
