At Animal Medical Center in Rogers, veterinary care is personalized—not one-size-fits-all. As a privately owned practice, its experienced doctors provide high-quality, individualized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs.
That same commitment to personalized care extends to the hospital’s advanced medical offerings. As a full-service facility, Animal Medical Center is committed to improving access to top-tier veterinary care by providing surgical procedures and diagnostics with some of the region’s most sophisticated equipment. Services include CT imaging, specialized soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, and routine preventative wellness care.
“When you come to Animal Medical Center, you can expect us to meet you where you are,” says Dr. Lindy O'Neal, a veterinarian and co-owner of the hospital. “If you want high-end care with no stops, we can offer that. If you need a medication trial first, we can offer that. We are proud of our specialized equipment and techniques, but we aren't so proud that we can't take baby steps also.”
The highly skilled staff uses fear-free techniques to help minimize stress and anxiety during each pet’s visit. And with seven doctors on staff, there is a personality to meet the needs of every owner and pet.
“We take the extra step to make sure your pet is treated the right way, the first time,” Dr. O'Neal says.
Animal Medical Center offers two convenient locations. Midtown, a quaint hospital in the heart of Rogers at 205 S. 20th St., was the original location built in the 1990s. The hospital’s Pinnacle location at 1203 S. 43rd St. was built in 2020 and offers a larger footprint for more advanced veterinary medicine. Both hospitals share a database so pet owners can visit either location without having to worry about a lack of continuity of care.
Dr. O'Neal and her business partner, Dr. Kyle Fugett, own both Animal Medical Center locations, keeping the practice locally owned at a time when more small animal hospitals are being acquired by large corporations. Dr. Fugett is also expanding his expertise and will soon complete training in performing echocardiograms.
While Animal Medical Center provides top-of-the-line medical care when needed, Dr. O'Neal stresses that keeping up with preventative care can be one of the most beneficial aspects to owning a pet.
“Animals are so stoic, and they often don't let on that they're experiencing a problem until it's a real problem,” she says. “Keeping up with annual exams, regular health screens, and asking questions about changes in your pets' appearance, gait, appetite, and activity level can really help us piece together a puzzle that we didn't know needed solving.”
