Animal Hospitals Merge

For Release: October 5, 2007

After nearly a year of planning, Dr. Scott Linick, owner of the Plainfield Animal Hospital and Dr. Kurt Blaicher, owner of the Animal Medical Group of Plainfield, are very happy to announce the merger of their practices effective October 8, 2007. Essentially, the Animal Medical Group office at 947 Prospect Avenue, Plainfield, will close. Dr. Blaicher along with Dr. Al Latschar, their receptionists Bonnie and Sheila and technician Kelly, will immediately resume practicing veterinary medicine and surgery at Plainfield Animal Hospital, located at 2215 Park Avenue, South Plainfield, a mere 1.5 miles from the Animal Medical Group’s present location.

“We are extremely energized and excited about the prospect of caring for your beloved pets, with a combined staff of unparalleled professionals, in a beautiful, new, award-winning facility built by Dr. Scott Linick. It is our belief that this merger will create a general practice that will raise the already lofty bar of veterinary care in New Jersey. Please, rest assured, that we are trying to anticipate any and all logistic headaches a move of this proportion inherently creates for our clients, and are striving to seamlessly continue the exceptional care you and your pets deserve.” states Dr. Blaicher.

The present telephone number at the Animal Medical Group, 908 756-1488, will be operational after the move, and the telephone number at Plainfield Animal Hospital is 908 755-2428.
