About the Practice

North Elm Animal Hospital has been part of Greensboro since 2000, when two veterinarians opened our doors after a decade of practicing together, and we've been growing ever since. Today we're a multi-doctor hospital offering medical and surgical care, behavioral consultations, dentistry, laser therapy, grooming, and boarding, with a support team more than 35 strong. If you want to work somewhere your experience is valued and your skills keep growing, you'll be in good company here.
