Services
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
We are always glad to accept resumes from enthusiastic, hard working, dependable, team oriented people who wish to join our team of veterinary health care professionals.

Responsibilities include scheduling appointments, answering the telephone, setting up new clients and patients, preparation and maintenance of medical records, admitting and discharging patients, filling some prescriptions, over the counter sales, mailings, computer operation, financial transactions, filing, and front office and reception area maintenance.
To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate primarily by appointment. Emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time. For your convenience, drop-off' appointments are available.
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is an international organization serving veterinarians and members of their staffs, who are engaged in the delivery of veterinary medical care to pets. AAHA is an international association of more than 27,000 veterinary care providers who treat companion animals.
Many people have questions about various aspects of their pet's surgery, and we hope this information will help. It also explains the decisions you will need to make before your pet's upcoming surgery. Is the anesthetic safe? Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past.

Dr. Lester is miraculous and brilliant. He has an untouchable understanding of animals, and is compassionate and accomodating to their people. His staff is amazing. They might be a drive, it might be a small clinic, but if you can't find answers - check them out!

Looked for a new vet to go to and chose this office by the reviews. My little guy (yorkie/shitzuh mix) has had a skin allergy problem and other offices recommended doing an allergy test $400 and the Dr here told me to change his diet completely. No more chicken, beef, wheat. All the signs of allergies from his diet were things max has been experiencing. Happy with my visit!

After moving to the area and going to another vet that continuously wanted to run tests for a perfectly healthy dog, figured it was time to find another. I was recommended by my neighbor and have continued to use Community Veterinary. I've moved 2 hours away and still come here. I won't go anywhere else! Thanks for everything!

Whenever my furry kids, Lulu & Zach, are not feeling up to par, we always visit Dr Mandelker. He has the background, experience, knowledge and compassion to care for them promptly without unnecessary costs. Many thanks to Community Veterinary Hospital & the wonderful staff.

We just started going to Dr Mandelker this past year. He and his staff are helpful friendly and my furry kids feel very comfortable going there. No doggie jitters about going to the vet. Just the opposite
