VitalPet-Atascocita Animal Hospital voted 2007 Hospital of The Year

VitalPet-Atascocita Animal Hospital won the 2007 Veterinary Economics Hospital Design Competition.  So what did it for the competition’s judges?  The near-perfect floor plan, the striking regional architectural elements, and the colorful cat playroom all drew in their attention.

To reflect his practice’s philosophy of providing “Quality medicine in a Caring Family Environment”  Dr. Resell wanted to build a high-tech hospital with a homey feel.  Once clients enter the practice, they are greeted with soft music and custom artwork hanging on the walls that portrays images of pets and families.

Our clients have commented that our hospital feels like home. That's validation you have reached your goal.
