Overview
Hart Road Animal Hospital is an independently owned veterinary clinic for dogs and cats in the Summercrest neighborhood of Beaverton, OR. Established in 1989, our goal is to provide the best possible care for each pet based on lifetime preventive care, educating pet owners and advocating for the pet. We are an FelineVMA Certified Feline Friendly Practice since 2014 and in 2017 every team member was Certified as a Fear Free Professional
Hart Road Animal Hospital was established in 1989 in the Summercrest neighborhood of West Beaverton by Dr. Gary Heckman. When Dr. Smith took over as owner in July 2014 the practice had gone through 3 changes of ownership. It had a good reputation but was suffering from an aging facility, declining income and low staff morale. Dr. Smith hired some trusted former coworkers to join the existing team, gave the place a thorough face-lift and decluttering and the business began to slowly turn around. One of the first big projects the new HRAH the team undertook was becoming a Cat Friendly Practice. The Feline Veterinary Medical Association (FelineVMA) has laid out training, handling and design specifications required to attain this designation. A Cat Friendly Practice creates a safe and low-stress atmosphere for feline patients with a separate waiting area and exam room for cats, happy feline pheromones, soft mats on the exam tables, catnip, treats and gentle handling. We proudly achieved our FelineVMA Cat Friendly status in November 2014
Mission — The mission of Hart Road Animal Hospital is to maintain and support the human-animal relationships by providing the highest quality medical care available for our animal friends while working in a compassionate, positive and relaxed environment
