Overview

About Us: As one of the few private, family-owned small animal clinics in Tuscaloosa, AL we place a high importance on workplace culture, proven processes, and core values in order to provide the best patient care. In 2017 Dr. Collins purchased McLendon Vet from Dr. McLendon, whose bustling practice was well known for his personal care. Client demand quickly outgrew the two exam rooms, so in 2020 Dr. Collins transformed the previous beuling into a 4800 sq. foot clinic with: 5 exam rooms, treatment area, x-ray, surgery suite, cat condo boarding, isloation ward, staff room, admin room, staff training space, and bullpen workspace for our DVMs. Less than a mile from the University of Alabama, our clinic is well known with new and long-term residents. Our fast-paced, three doctor clinic seems many walk-in patients daily and seeks professional, knowledgeable canidates to contribute to our practice.
