Black Creek Veterinary Clinic

Black Creek Veterinary Clinic We are a small animal veterinary clinic dedicated to outstanding patient care and to educating pet o Dr Heacock fully retired from practice in August of 2013.

Black Creek Animal Clinic was originally started as Presley Animal Hospital in the 1950s. In 1981 the practice was purchased by Dr Noel Heacock and renamed Black Creek Animal Clinic. Dr. Mary Bochino also worked from this office for a few years. Dr Heacock owned and operated the practice until April 3 2013, when it was purchased by Dr Ariane Hamblin-Smith. In April of 2021 Dr Lynn Baker joined our practice. The staff members are Mary Pooler, who has been with the practice since 1990. Mary is the assistant and Clinic Coordinator (she is the hub that keeps this wheel turning!!:). Taryn Gates is the morning receptionist and Office Manager. She has been with the practice for over 10 years. Taryn is exceptional at customer service, and knows several clients by their voice on the phone!! Samantha Converse LVT has been our lead veterinary technician since 2015. In 2018 Jill Krick joined our team as an assistant and she has recently graduated with her LVT degree. In 2019 Kerri Hammond LVT joined our team, bringing nearly 20 years of experience as in the veterinary field. We are all committed to giving our patients the best care possible. We want to help their owners/parents better understand veterinary medicine, preventative care, and medical treatments. We want to work within our community to try to offer our pets a better life. Dr Hamblin enjoys surgery, connecting with clients and getting to know clients and their pets on a personal level. We want to care for your pets from puppy/kitten stage through end of life. We want to forge strong bonds and work towards health and well being for animals.

At 3:30 this morning this dog was running near Black Creek Veterinary Clinic. We have not seen it again, but are hoping to confirm that the dog is home and safe. If you have any information let us know.

In compliance with the NYS Clean Air Act it is the policy of our clinic that we do not allow smoking, va**ng or cannabis use on our property, including in front of our building as these odors travel inside. Further, due to staff sensitivities and the need to maintain a healthy work environment we will ask anyone that is in our practice with overwhelming odors (including smoke, ma*****na, perfumes/colognes) to leave. Please be aware of this prior to any scheduled appointments. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding that in compliance with NYS law it is our duty to maintain a proper work environment for our staff.

The weather is turning snowy here. Be very careful driving. We would advise only urgent issues coming in today. If it doesn’t improve we will likely send staff home early. We will keep you posted.

Please be patient with us this week. We have changed our entire practice management software. Unfortunately our old program was becoming outdated and we had to move to a newer software. Thankfully this is a much more intuitive program, but it will take some adjusting for our staff. We kindly ask that you be patient with us, especially our front desk staff and practice manager as they are taking on the brunt of this change. Thank you 😊
