The brand, CLEARVIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL, has long been a part of the Hanover community. Established, right here in the Snack Capital of the World, in 1974 by Ivan L. Fillmore (DVM), a graduate of The Ohio State University. Dr. Fillmore owned and operated the veterinary hospital for twelve (12) years. Dr. Fillmore worked both in the practice and within the community; being elected a president of The Hanover Rotary Club in the 1980's. He may also be remembered for his regular column in The Evening Sun entitled CARING FOR YOUR PET. Dr. Fillmore sold the practice and its associated real estate to Douglas J Pierson (VMD) in 1986.
Dr. Pierson, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, operated the animal hospital for an additional thirteen (13) years, growing the brand and the client base signficantly. In 1999, Dr. Pierson and his family decided to embark on veterinary missionary work and sold the practice and its associated real estate to Colleen M. Baylor (DVM) and James J. Lee (DVM).
Over time, Dr. Lee became the sole owner of Clearview Animal Hospital. Dr. Baylor continues to focus on the care of our feline friends in neighboring Littlestown. Growth continued to occur at Clearview under these owners and the building, itself, underwent a substantial remodel during the early years of their ownership. In April 2021, Dr. Lee sold the practice and the associated real estate to Doris R. LaFaver (DVM). Dr. LaFaver, a graduate of The Ohio State University, joined the team as an associate veterinarian in the middle of 1998, hired by Dr. Pierson. She is thrilled to be part of, and to build upon, this practice's 50-year legacy in Hanover and in the growing, surrounding York-Adams-Carroll communities.
The Clearview Family is proud to continue doing business as CLEARVIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL and we're proud that this practice is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year! Many veterinary professionals, from doctors to technicians to assistants to groomers, have worked very hard over these 50 years to build this strong legacy, to write this long history, and to solidify this commitment to the Hanover community.
In this ever-changing corporate-driven veterinary landscape; Clearview Animal Hospital is PROUD to have always been: locally-owned, privately-owned, employee-driven, and client-focused. It continues to be our goal to provide the best possible medical and surgical care to pets entrusted to us for treatment. Our incredible team members over the years have enabled us to always remain focused on that important care.
OUR MISSION: To provide excellent veterinary medical care in a communicative, compassionate, and cost-effective environment.
