Meet the Doctors

Dr. Stephen Thimmig has expanded the business considerably. Starting with five staff members in 1986 the team grew to twenty-six members in February 1999. On June 1st, 1998 Three Shears For Pets, attached to the West End of the office, was opened to meet the grooming needs of the community's pets. On August 1st, 1998 Dr. Thimmig renamed the hospital facility 'Pet Health Center', and for a future boarding facility registered the name 'Pet Bed and Breakfast'. The new names more accurately represent the broadened activities of the office.
