Longtime veterinary clinic offers full range of services

When Dr. Stephen Dicke joined Northmont Animal Clinic more than 30 years ago, it was located in small office with just a few employees.

“My office was a closet,” he recalls. “It was a tiny little place.”

The veterinary clinic moved to a new location in 1994 and has five exam rooms, an isolation room, and much more space. It now has 14 employees.

The newest veterinarian to join the staff is Dicke’s son, Dr. Nathan Dicke, who joined the practice in 2012 after graduating from Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. As a new veterinarian, the younger Dicke brings with him knowledge about the latest treatment and technologies.
