About West Side Pet Clinic

Founded in 2014 by Dr. Susan Sickels and Dr. R. Reed Stevens, West Side Pet Clinic is Western New York’s first low cost, AAHA accredited animal clinic, created to make high-quality outpatient and preventive veterinary care accessible for families across Buffalo, Erie County, and the region. The clinic focuses exclusively on wellness care including exams, vaccinations, diagnostics, nutrition, behavior support, and client education, with surgeries, X-rays, and hospitalization referred to sister hospitals when needed.

We are seeking a doctor who shares this mission, prefers non-surgical medicine, and can lead with compassion, strong clinical standards, team mentorship, client communication, and community engagement. Our core values center on affordability, compassion, and excellence so pets never go without care due to cost and families can keep the companions they love.

We are dedicated to establishing a culture that celebrates all forms of diversity and allows us to be an inclusive service provider in this community.
