Dr. Paige & Susie
Paige L. Theuring, D.V.M.
Growing up the youngest of 11 children in rural Southern Ohio, I was always infatuated with animals and can't really remember a time when I didn't want to be a vet! Fortunately, my mom was an animal lover as well, so there were plenty of critters to bond with throughout my childhood. Many an afternoon was spent playing with the dogs, eventually a horse, and a plethora of other species, in the acres and acres of woods behind our house. Luckily, I was also born with a healthy interest in science and medicine, so the long path to veterinary school wasn't as daunting as it could have been. Wanting to experience what veterinary medicine was really like, as well as to start saving for college tuition, I started working as an assistant in a small animal general practice when I was 16. This exposure only whet my appetite to trudge forward! I worked at that clinic through high school and my undergraduate days. As an undergrad, I also worked at a second clinic during summers and holidays; it was an internal medicine specialty practice. My summer days were 8-2 at one clinic, 2:30-8 at the second, and in my spare time, I would hire myself out as a pet sitter. I was none the happier!
My undergraduate classes were taken at The University of Cincinnati. But it was September of '90 that I hit the big time and entered The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine class of '94! My first years after graduation were a learning curve to find "my place." I worked in a dairy practice in northern Ohio, a small animal clinic in Miamisburg, back to the north to a practice in Kent, and then finally found home here in West Milton. I was the lucky person to discover that Dr. David Hayes was ready to let go of the stresses of owning a practice. It was exciting, albeit a bit daunting, knowing how well he was liked and respected in the community and rightly so. But West Milton was and is welcoming, and when I took over the practice on May 1, 2000, I was on top of the world.
When our clients and patients visit the clinic, they are often greeted by one of the cats that call the clinic home, or one of my family of dogs that accompany me to work. When I go home, I am well cared for by my 7 cats, 6 dogs, 2 Pygmy goats and a Vietnameses potbelly pig. Every day is an adventure for us all!
Even after more than a decade of owning my own practice, the learning curve continues! Over the years, we've grown and tweaked, and will continue to do so, trying to make our clinic a place where people know we are passionate about what we do for you and your pet.
