Welcome to the Veterinary
Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) at Kansas
State University. Whether your animal is a new patient, a life-long
patient, or a recent referral, we are honored that you and your
referring veterinarian have trusted us to be a healthcare provider.
You see, we’ve been preparing for you and your pet. We have been
teaching and learning, learning and teaching for nearly 100 years.
The VMTH is a committed group of veterinary educators, researchers,
clinicians and students. Your pet is reaping the benefits of our
experience in treating hundreds of thousands of animals over the
years. Our clients expect us to do it all -- from high quality
routine healthcare to state-of-the-art therapy for the most
critically ill animals. Our caregivers exceed these
expectations…every day.
Many of the patients we see are referred by local practitioners; in
many cases, the person who has provided care for your pet for many
years. We want to acknowledge the tremendous contribution these
doctors make and we want you to know how important they are to our
success. In many ways, we are here to help them, help you.
You probably already know that our veterinarians are highly regarded
and the medical technology in our hospital matches and in some cases
exceeds that available in human hospitals. What you may not know is
that we are driven by our deep appreciation for animals, we honor
the human-animal bond, and we know that your pet is really a member
of your family. That’s the same status our pets hold in our lives.
Something else you may not know is that we have 55 veterinarians on
staff. When your pet or production animal requires a specialist, we
have an experienced and highly educated staff of experts-- the best
of the best -- available on-site for consult. And when routine
medical care is what your pet needs, our general practice
veterinarians are among the finest in the profession – without
exception.
We thank you for taking time to visit the VMTH. I hope it gives you
a better understanding of who we are, what we do and why we are
committed to animal health and welfare. We exist simply because of
our commitment to teaching and healing. This has drawn you and
hundreds of thousands of people just like you to our hospital; you
want the best care available. That is exactly what your pet deserves
and that is exactly what we provide.
Thank you for supporting our hospital and thank you for caring about
animals.
Warm Regards,
Roger B. Fingland, DVM, MS, MBA
