MT HERMON ANIMAL CLINIC

We are a small group of veterinary professionals that are like a family and we treat our clients and patients like family. That is why our slogan is "we are your family vet, keeping your furry family healthy and happy." We are here to give you the best medical care for your pet. We are a full service hospital with in house laboratory, radiology, pharmacy and surgery. We can take care of anything your pet needs and we have good relationships with referral hospitals allowing us to provide you with the very best that veterinary medicine has to offer. We understand what you mean your pet is your "baby" and we understand that cats are not small dogs and need a quiet calm place to visit. Call ahead with your nervous cat and we will quietly wisk him into a quiet exam room while you fill out your paper work. We have 2 doctors:Dr. Jeff Smith, our practice owner, is active in our community. He serves on the board of the Danville Area Humane Society, is a member the Riverview Rotary Club, and has served as a deacon at West Main Baptist Church to name a few things. Dr. Smith has veterinary medicine in his blood, he was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada while his father was in vet school there. He talks fondly of his memories as a boy living in a house with a veterinary clinic attached. He moved to Miami, Fl at the age of 14 and spent his high school years working at a veterinary emergency clinic after school. He received his degree from Auburn University in 1994 and came to Danville to partner with Dr. Sam Jones and Dr. John Moser. Working with Dr. Jones, Dr. Smith began developing his talents in surgery and now accepts regular referrals from area veterinarians in Danville, South Boston, Eden, and Martinsville. Dr. Smith also has a special interest in behavioral medicine and helps people solve problems from begging at the table to the most complex fears, phobias, and aggressions. Dr. Smith is very proud of his 3 boys, Zachary, Levi, and Graydon and you will see him frequently at soccer games, baseball games, and other school related events.
