Certificate of Occupancy

This past weekend we took our families and friends into our new clinic and cleaned and scrubbed. A BIG THANKS to all of those who came and helped, it sure made things go by faster!

The ceiling tile is complete, the cabinets are complete, the countertops are on, the carpet is laid, the plumbing is finished, the electrical is done, the trim painting and touch up is "almost" complete, they will be doctoring up our epoxy floor, our computer system and phone lines are up and running, and all of our great staff members are hired.

The phone lines are no longer forwarded to our personal cell phones like they have been the last couple weeks. In order to contact us, you will have to call the office at 627-1300 or fax us at 627-2264. If you need to schedule an appointment before our clinic is officially open. Thanks again for your patience and understanding!

We should be getting our Certificate of Occupancy from the city tomorrow! After that, we will be moving stuff in and getting things organized.

A special thanks to those of you who are looking at our web site. It's interesting to see who you are and the interest you have taken in WFVC!

Can't wait for the opening day!

Dr. Barton and Dr. King

We have hired some new people! Andrea Passerby will be our part-time secretary working alongside of Teresa Wetzel, our main secretary. She comes to us with a lot of veterinary office experience and knows our program well. She will be a great asset to our team. AND, we are excited to tell you that Austin Zimmerman has joined our team as well. We have worked with Austin for the last couple years and are excited that he would come and work for us. He is a hard worker, knows a lot about the veterinary field and is great with our clients and patients. We are sure that you will love him as much as we do! We also hired another veterinary technician named Alden Kling. Alden comes to us from Pleasant Grove with 3-4 years of veterinary experience and is very well trained on client education. We are excited to get to know Alden better along with all of you.

Things for us have been exciting, stressful, fun, hectic and just plain crazy! So many things have been happening with the clinic and it looks really amazing! It has been neat to see the transformation the last couple of weeks and to see what this place is turning out to look like.

Here are some pictures, don't mind the dust. We are in the process of getting it cleaned up!

Painting, finish work, grid/tile ceilings and cabinets

The walls are all painted and the clinic is looking really good! The cabinets are starting to come in and making it look more like a veterinary clinic. The finish work and grid/tile ceiling is going up and we are getting more anxious every day.

Now, you don't see that every day! It's true, we have a horse trailer parked right in front of festival plaza where we are located. We have had so many people call and tell us that they saw our signs on this horse trailer. Special thanks to Dr. Barton for letting us borrow his horse trailer to hold our company sign. You've gotta love it, especially coming from some crazy veterinarians who know how to have a good laugh. Ya'll bring your pets into WFVC now ya hear! :)

Waiting and front desk area

There is some nice looking wood on our front desk and they will fill in the gaps with rock. They will be putting on the rock tomorrow that is the same rock as the exterior of our building.

The doors were hung and the casing and baseboards are being put on now.

It's looking good!

We had hoped to be open the first or middle of February, but is doesn't seem to be happening. We still plan to open in a couple weeks, we just don't know an exact date. Hopefully February does us some good and we can wrap this up quickly. We will let you know the details as time progresses and keep you posted about what is happening at WFVC. As always, thanks for all you do and for being so patient with us.
