The founder of Southtowns Animal Hospital was Dr. L.W. Lindsey. An article commemorating its founding was published in the Hamburg Sun on 06/20/1946. Dr. Lindsay practiced out of a house that stood in front of where the current Souththowns Animal Hospital is located. The practice was founded on personal one on one attention.
In the 1970's, Dr. Lindsay retired and sold the practice to Dr. Robert Hirt, who built the first version of the current building while practicing out of the same house in front. Dr. Hirt published a book, "Reflections: The Stories and Life of a Country Vet." In 1995, upon his retirement, the practice was purchased by Dr. Theodore Winkle (The Ohio State University) who became just the third owner in 50 years.

Payment Policy
Report
Payments are due at the time of service. Unlike human hospitals, we do not receive income from grants, fund drives, or government programs like Medicaid or Medicare. In order to keep operating costs as low as possible and given that the hospital does not receive any funding outside that of the fees we collect for our services, Southtowns Animal Hospital is not able to extend credit.
What People Say
Report
Recently my beloved Barley came down with vertigo making him unable to stand without help. As he weighed almost 100lbs, he was in need of nursing care. Dr. Jacobi and her dedicated staff made his more than 3 week stay more like a spa visit than a hospital one. I felt secure in the unparalleled care shown to my sweet boy.
