Neel Veterinary Hospital

Dr. Tina Neel - Owner & Chief of Staff

Dr. Neel founded Neel Veterinary Hospital three decades ago and is entering her 41st year of practicing veterinary medicine. Beginning as a mobile DVM, this experience gave Dr. Neel a unique chance to travel to the homes of some of her long-time clients, who still bring their pets to our hospital today.

She then bought a tiny building just to the south of our current location to begin building her practice and treating even more pets with the ultimate goal of helping the animals live long lives as comfortable and pain-free as possible. In 2000, she was able to purchase the land that our hospital currently sits on to begin building the NVH you know today.

With the hospital opening that year, it was clear that Oklahoma City was in need of a 24 veterinary facility so Dr. Neel made the decision to remain open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since May 2000. This made NVH the first 24 hour hospital in the state of Oklahoma. In 2005, an addition was added, doubling the size of the hospital to 14,000 sqft.

Dr. Neel brings a love of technology and learning to the practice that fosters continuous growth with Gold Standard Medicine.

Dr. Neel is a current member of Neel Veterinary Hospital Small Animal Rotating Internship Selection Committee.

Proudly, Dr. Neel served on the Admissions Committee for students into the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine from 2009-2011.

Dr. Neel currently focuses on Ultrasound - both Abdominal and Cardiac - and is available to do those procedures 7 days a week.

When not at NVH, she loves to sew and spend time with her family, particularly her 3 grand daughters.

Dr. Neel was the winner of the 2005 Distinguished Alumni Award, OSU Center for Veterinary Health Sciences
