Welcome
We are conveniently located on the south side of highway 60 just west of Mountain View, Missouri. We have regular office hours, and an on call Veterinarian 24 hours a day. Joe Lewis DVM generally heads up this office. We also have a second clinic located in Willow Springs, Missouri headed up by Mikael Orchard DVM.
To be able to provide your animals with the best possible care, we have equipped our office with computers, modern diagnostic equipment and we have the only sterile operating room in the area. Both clinics have a well trained staff to provide state-of-the-art care for your pets and animals.
Although we treat regular farm animals and house pets, we have successfully treated exotic animals such as a wild eagle.
About the Vets
Joe Lewis DVM graduated from Veterinarian school in 1971. Marcia (his wife) and Joe moved to Mountain View where they started the animal clinic. Since starting his practice back in 1971 he he has been a member of the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association), MVMA (Missouri Veterinarians Association, Academy of Veterinarian Consultants), Theriogenology, American Association of Bovine Practitioners and is a past board member of Missouri Veterinary Board.
Several years ago, Joe and Marcia added a new Veterinarian to the staff. DVM Mikael Orchard who is a member of Theriogenology, American Association of Equine Practitioners. Mikael and his wife Terri were both born and raised in Mtn. View. They went to the University of Missouri in Columbia to get their Education. With most of their family living in this area it was a no brainer to move back home to start our careers, and moved back to Mtn. View in 2004.
They have two lovely daughters Abbi and Lexi. Terri teaches at Mtn. View ElementarySchool. They also have two dogs Charlie and Marlie, and a miniature donkey named Agnus.
Mikael says,"It gives me great pride to say that I am a veterinarian and I take my job very seriously. It is an honor to have the trust of our clients with their pets and livestock. I feel that it is my duty to stay updated on new techiques for treating the animals we love and making them have a long, productive, happy life."
