Practice Overview

At Country Hills Veterinary Hospital, it's our mission to make visits to the veterinarian warm, positive experiences. That's why we'll go out of our way to make our patients and clients feel comfortable and right at home. Whether it's wrapping a pet in a cozy towel, offering tasty treats or getting down on their level, we'll do whatever it takes.

Our gentle compassion is backed by a combined 48 years of experience. We're proud to serve the Eastern Ky, Prestonsburg, Paintsville and Pikeville communities.

More about the Role

At Country Hills Veterinary Hospital we are ready to introduce you to the community of East Point, KY and the surrounding area! Our clients go beyond your typical dogs and cats, since we see reptiles, small mammals and birds! At our practice, you're welcome to take your medical interests (including exotics) wherever you want to go!

Our clients deserve the best care, so in order to provide that we have 3 exam rooms, a large treatment area and a boarding facility attached. You'll also be able to master your surgery skills with soft tissue surgery (and orthopedics if that's your thing!). Our equipment includes digital radiographs, inhouse labs and an ultrasound. Whatever you need, if we don't have it we'll get it for you!

About the area: Just as the name implies, we're just about as far east as you can get in KY! Rich in history and outdoor activities, it's a perfect place to get involved with your community!
