Our History

Dr. Gary Stutesman graduated from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine in May of 1992. He and his wife, Lisa, and four children then moved to Hickory, North Carolina.

His vision for the future was to move to a growing family friendly environment and open a veterinary hospital. That was the Mountain View area of Hickory, NC. He then bought property with an old home on it on 127 South and Mountain View Animal Hospital soon became a reality. 
Not long after, Animal Hospital of Newton-Conover became available and Dr. Stutesman saw a chance to grow his practice and reach even more people and their pets. 
It paved the way to support his family, make long-lasting client relationships, see second generation kids with their own families, and, after 23 wonderful years, have the opportunity to care of clients and their extended family members.
Because of the overwhelming community support, Animal Hospital of Newton-Conover has grown from a quiet little clinic to the bustling, active clinic that we are today.
