About Our Hospital
Originally built in the 1960s, our hospital has been thoughtfully expanded over the years to meet the evolving needs of our patients and team.
Our facility includes 4 exam rooms, a large treatment area, a surgery suite, and a dental suite. We’re equipped with CR and dental x-rays, in-house IDEXX lab equipment, ultrasound, and a therapeutic laser.
Our Team & Culture
At Horton Northeast, collaboration and positivity are at the heart of what we do. Our team includes several ultrasound-certified doctors (with advanced skills in echocardiograms and FAST scans), and our doctors enjoy consulting with each other to deliver the best outcomes for every patient.
We also love celebrating wins—big and small! Our “shout-out board” recognizes team members who go above and beyond, and mid-shift breaks help everyone stay refreshed and focused.
Appointments are scheduled thoughtfully (typically 20–50 minutes), allowing time for individualized, low-stress care.
