Their vision is to provide the highest quality veterinary care to all of your companions and to exceed the expectations of current and future clients. Since 2012, the Otkas' have continued to update and modernize the hospital and equipment. Dr. Otka and his team work every day to achieve the goals set forth in their hospital slogan: Raising the bar on the standard of care.

The staff at Noank-Mystic Veterinary Hospital is committed to providing pets and pet owners the finest veterinary care possible in the greater Norwich area. We want to become known as a welcoming, skilled and cost-conscious partner in the care of your beloved companions. While we primarily see dogs and cats, we also treat exotic pets, including various avian species and waterfowl, rodents, pocket pets, rabbits, reptiles and others.

Dr. Christopher Otka said that becoming a veterinarian was a "natural choice." While growing up in Ashford, CT, he always owned exotic animals and was exposed to wildlife. It followed that he would want to go into a profession where he could help animals as much as possible. Dr. Otka and his wife purchased Noank-Mystic Veterinary Hospital in January of 2012.

Hospital Administrator Deborah Otka holds a Doctor of Pharmacy and has more than 14 years of experience in pharmacy, patient care and customer services. Her background will be invaluable in assisting our clients and ensuring that Noank-Mystic Veterinary Hospital becomes the model of veterinary care in our area.

Prevention is the key to your pet's long term health. Dr. Christopher Otka and the medical staff at Noank-Mystic Veterinary Hospital recommend that your pet receives a complete wellness examination at least once a year, but more frequent exams are encouraged.

During wellness exams, we perform a complete physical and recommend a heartworm test, fecal flotation test for intestinal parasites, and a red blood cell count to detect anemia (decrease in the number of red blood cells) that can indicate the presence of a number of disease processes.To keep your pet parasite free, we also recommend preventive medication for heartworms, fleas and ticks.
