Overview
We love what we do, and strive to provide high quality veterinary care, including preventive medicine, client education, comprehensive diagnostics, medical and surgical treatment options, plus top notch service to our clients and patients at affordable prices
The Animal Hospital of Emporia was opened in 1995 by Dr. Tom Grenell and Dr. Kay Lawrence. Dr. Grenell enjoys all aspects of a small animal hospital, with a particular interest and proficiency in soft tissue surgery. In 2020 Dr. Grenell retired from practice and The Animal Hospital of Emporia was taken over by Dr. Qingling Chen BVM
Mission — Our philosophy in 1995 was that our business would not be driven by money, with the idea being that if we offered a high level of veterinary care combined with excellent client services, the money would take care of itself. And that philosophy continues today
