Job description

Company Description

Roanoke Animal Hospital has the distinction of being accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association longer than any other veterinary hospital in Virginia. We have continuously met the high standards required of AAHA since 1950, initially under the leadership of our founder, the late Dr. Alvin Rice.

When Dr. Rice founded Roanoke Animal Hospital in 1947, he treated farm animals, horses, and small animal pets. Over time, additions were added to accommodate a multi-doctor practice.

Dr. Mark Finkler joined the practice in 1982 and eventually purchased it from Dr. Rice. Both men share a history of being involved in organized veterinary medicine. They placed an emphasis on continuing education for themselves, their associate doctors, and their staff.

Dr. Thomas Blaszak joined the team in 2011 and became the third owner after purchasing the practice in July 2020. Under his leadership, Roanoke Animal Hospital received the Platinum award for “Best Veterinarian Services” in the 2021 edition of “The Roanoker” magazine and was voted a 2021 “Best of Virginia” winner in “Virginia Living” magazine.

He and his team continue the legacy of providing each pet and their owner with the highest quality and compassionate veterinary care across the state of Virginia.
