About Us

We are a walk-in clinic, so scheduling appointments is only necessary for surgical procedures, bathing, and boarding. This allows us the flexibility to tailor each visit to the patient's needs without worrying about going over an alloted amount of time. It does, however, mean that there could be a wait time depending on what is happening that day. We take emergencies during regular business hours, but refer to the Animal Emergency Center overnight and on weekends. ************************************************************************************************************ 15th Street Veterinary Group strives to provide our clients with the best and most up to date medical and surgical care. It is also our goal to promote good client communication and encourage preventative medicine. Sometimes maintaining the standard of care requires referral, and we proudly maintain good relationships with many board certified specialists. 15th Street Veterinary Group also employs three registered veterinary technicians which allows better client communication, higher levels of professional nursing care, and increased monitoring capabilities during surgical procedures. ************************************************************************************************************ Our doors first opened at our current location in 1965 as Hohmann Veterinary Hospital, under the ownership of Dr. Donald Hohmann. Dr. Ed Wagner joined the practice as an associate in 1980, but later became a partner. A third veterinarian was added to the practice in 1987 when Dr. Mark Shackelford joined the group. We officially became 15th Street Veterinary Group in 1990 when Dr. Wagner and Dr. Shackelford became co-owners of the clinic. Dr. Hohmann remained on and continued to practice until his death in 1995. Dr. Erin Reed joined us in 1999, and Dr. Jennifer Miller joined in 2009.
