As doctors converse with clients about their pet and verbalize their history and examination, Scribe Note captures pertinent details and creates a remarkably accurate transcribed note. The transcribed note can be edited and then copied into the hospital’s practice management system.

At the core of our work is our values. These include Doing the right thing when no one is watching, Team Work (Together Everyone Achieves More), Accountability - Do what you say and say what you do, Continuous Improvement and Service - every interaction matters.

Our culture is what sets us apart from other hospitals. Our leadership team is responsible for creating a culture that embraces MVP's core values. Our team embraces continual improvement of patient care and provide the best support staff to our doctors.

We do allow you to bring your pet to work on those long days, so they can have potty break.

We also have a mental health room that is secluded from the main hospital if you need to step away for a moment. It is set up to be cozy and even has a heated blanket and a cot if you just need to take a moment for yourself.
