Veazie Veterinary Clinic

At Veazie Veterinary Clinic we believe that what sets us apart is our staff. Without these dedicated, caring, compassionate people the practice would just be a building with a lot of fancy machines. We believe in exceptional care delivered with compassion to all our patients. Please explore what we have to offer by getting to know our people, our most important asset. Our Services: We offer a wide variety of services here at Veazie Veterinary Clinic. Our doctors have many different areas of interest and our services match this range of interests.

It began with a vision of providing the best medical care possible, in an environment that was comfortable for both patients and their humans. Clients were encouraged to ask questions, allowing owners to make important health care decisions, not having decisions made for them. In April 1992 Dr. David A. Cloutier joined the practice. His idea of state of the art medical care mirrored the practices and his professional interests were complimentary. The practice soon outgrew the building and in 1995 an expansion was undertaken. Doubling the work space enabled us to more effectively and efficiently practice the high quality medicine our clients have come to expect. In 2005 Dr. Michael C. McCaw joined the practice. His caring style has quickly made him popular with clients. Dr. Julie Keene joined the practice in 2006. Her intelligence and heart are helping her fit in wonderfully. In 2006 Dr. Cloutier purchased the practice in full. The clinic's philosophy will continue to include encouraging and challenging the support staff to actively participate in the practice. This has resulted in having an extremely competent and knowledgeable health care team. Veazie Veterinary Clinic is just outside Bangor, Maine. We offer state of the art preventative care, diagnostics and treatment options for all our patients. Our Veterinarians and Staff keep up with the latest research and advances in the veterinary field. We customize our care to what our patients need and what our clients need and want. Our Vision: To be the best possible primary care provider to pets and their families by promoting an environment of animal health & well being with people who share common values, ever mindful of the human/animal bond and our responsibilities to our community, our environment and ourselves. Our Values: Compassion: Born from an understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings, and of all things. It is not just a willingness to be affected emotionally by the condition of others, but a commitment to act from that awareness. It brings the 'resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sensitive with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and wrong...because sometime in our lives, we will have been all of these'. Integrity: Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It is the compatibility between one's beliefs and one's actions. Positivity: Recognizing and acting upon the opportunity that presents itself in every challenge. 'Before you can have, you must become'. Our Philosophies: 1. We will listen to our clients and be respectful and supportive of them and the sometimes difficult decisions they have to make. 2. With patience and gentleness, we will tailor our medically progressive knowledge and skills to meet the individual needs of our clients and their pets. 3. We have chosen to come together as a group of passionate professionals dedicated to fostering an environment of continual learning and self-development that embraces diversity. 4. Life is short and calls to be explored, experienced, and enjoyed to the fullest. Maintaining a positive fun-loving work environment benefits our patients, our clients, and those with whom we work. 5. Time invested in our life's work is considerable. It demands our full attention and our best selves. This requires that we respect our own and each others personal time away from business responsibilities as well as the ability to respond to life's circumstances as we work. 6. We have set high yet attainable goals and realize obstacles and stumbling are inevitable. With this awareness, we can diminish frustration and judgement as challenges arise. A commitment to personal growth and understanding is paramount to self-responsibility.
