Family Veterinary Clinic

Almost Finished

Family Veterinary Clinic’s new building opening spring 2010

For twenty-seven years, Family Veterinary Clinic has been a familiar destination for you and your beloved pets. Our modest Cape Cod house welcomed you, in times of joy and sorrow, with a family atmosphere and a caring staff. Over the years our family has grown, and the time has come for a new beginning. We say goodbye with a touch of sadness, but look forward with joy and anticipation as our new home begins to rise. Much thought and planning went into the design, and we are sure that you and your family will feel even more at home. We have the same care and the same staff with a new home to serve you for the next twenty-seven years.

History

Family Veterinary Clinic was established in 1982 by Dr. Linda DeChambeau and Dr. Seth Koch.

FVC derived its name from the fact that it was attached to their home and was very much a part of the family life of the founders. This was transferred into the spirit in which the clinic was operated, as a place where people and their pets would feel at home, a place that reflected a view of the larger family of humans and animals.

As the pace of technological development began to accelerate, it became important to maintain a personal touch and outreach in veterinary medical care. Therefore, emphasis was placed on reaching out to pet owners, to not only care for their pets, but also to inform and educate them, with the goal of becoming partners with them in their pets’ health.

In May 2002, Dr. Kristin Varner and her husband, Patrick Maslar, took over Family Veterinary Clinic from the founders. The name of the clinic was retained as it reflected values that the new owners wished to continue and promote.
