Melanie,

When I lived in Dayton my vet was at the
Miami Valley Animal Hospital
1550 E David Rd
Kettering, OH 45429
937-434-8387
fax: 937-434-8180
www.mvahinc.com
Dr. Alex Watts (exotics - also very popular for all animals)

And then some of my experience there:
The whole staff, including aides and the support staff are super
friendly. I once had a mishap when Apple (my ferret) was feeling
particularly sick and I was heading to the vet every few days. Apple
let go of some really nasty explosive diarrhea in his carrier and the
staff took it to the back and cleaned up both the carrier and Apple.
So friendly and compassionate!

Dr Watts is professional and very knowledgeable. He doesn't know
everything about a raw diet but he does know that as long as its
balanced it is appropriate to feed. He did not speak strongly for or
against it, just wanted to make sure I had all the resources I needed
to continue that type of diet. He takes notes of everything during
exams. He answers questions very well and he never spoke rudely to me.
He always gives his full attention and tries to squeeze you in between
appointments for emergencies.

For your first visit I suggest you call ahead to book an appointment
with him and give plenty of time for paperwork and for you to "test
the knowledge" :-D I strongly recommend him.

Walk-in Hours: Monday-Saturday 9am-12pm
Appointment Hours: Monday-Thursday 2-7pm
Friday afternoon 2-6pm

I have also gone to
Apple Valley Animal Hospital
1221 Grange Hall Rd
Beavercreek, OH 45430
937-426-6950
Vet: Theodore J Binzer, DVM 
----Just the one time, then switched vets.----

I do NOT recommend them, I just didn't have a good first visit. If you
want more info about either you can email me off list.
