Introduction

COMPANY HISTORY

Community Animal Clinic opened in April of 1991, under the direction of Dr. David Stanley with Dr. Rebecca Beamer serving as the Clinic Veterinarian.

Dr. Beamer earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from University of Georgia – College of Veterinary Medicine in 1980. Following graduation, she practiced at Princeton Veterinary Associates, West End Animal Clinic, and Radford Animal Hospital prior to purchasing Community Animal Clinic in November of 1994.

Dr. Beamer opened a small animal clinic to fulfill her love of animals and serve pets and their owners, many of whom are friends, neighbors, and former school classmates.

As the practice grew, the building was expanded in 2000, and additional Veterinarians and Medical Support Staff have since joined Community Animal Clinic. Community Animal Clinic is located at 995 S. Third St. in Wytheville, VA. As a member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), Community Animal Clinic adheres to their rigid requirements for quality medical care as well as participates in comprehensive inspections. AAHA has contributed greatly to the care of patients and encourages continuing improvement through meetings and seminars with that goal in mind. We are proud to be a member of this organization.
