Ark is a brand new hospital that opened in March of 2018. We are privately owned by a local veterinarian with a goal of administering high-quality patient-oriented care in a friendly environment. The facility and equipment is all new and includes an in-house lab, dental and digital radiography, ultrasound, and other modern equipment. Because our clinic is small, we are able to tailor our services to the needs of the individual patient and the community. If we see a need, we fill it. For example, we work with several local rescues to reduce the cat population in our area. Because of this we perform several altering surgeries weekly and provide for injured animals at a reasonable cost. We also provide urgent care services. This allows for interesting cases and surgeries and provides the area with a lower cost alternative to the emergency hospital without the hectic overnight hours. Rochester is a great place to live and work. Cost-of-living is reasonable and we are close to many large cities, the Fingerlakes, the Adirondacks, and Canada. The area is great for families with many recreational activities and several high quality school districts.
