We have up to date medical and surgical equipment such as digital dental radiography, dental unit with high and low speed hand pieces, portable ultrasound, therapy laser, digital radiography, in house laboratory/chemistry analyzer, and more. Our region is supported by multiple emergency/specialist care hospitals available 24 hours a day, seven days per week, therefore no middle of the night emergency is required.

Location
Family Animal Hospital is located approximately 20 miles from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Batavia is on Ohio State Route 32, also known as the Appalachian Highway, a major east–west highway that connects Interstate 275 and the Cincinnati area to the rural counties of Southern Ohio. There is no shortage of things to do in Cincinnati. Families enjoy the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens, the Cincinnati Museum Center and the Newport Aquarium, which is just over the Ohio River in Kentucky. The metro area’s northern suburbs boast attractions like Kings Island and Great Wolf Lodge. Meanwhile, the area’s breweries are a nod to Cincinnati’s German heritage. MadTree Brewing, Fifty West Brewing Company and Moerlein Lager House are just a few places to enjoy local beer. Arts and entertainment venues include parks with free concerts, shows at historic Music Hall and live performances at Riverbend Music Center. Cincinnatians are loyal to their sports teams, FC Cincinnati, Cincinnati Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds. There is a friendly rivalry between teams at Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati. Something for everyone!
