Description
|
LaFayette Center Animal Hospital was established in 1988 by Dr. Mike Younker. It was a time of tremendous population growth in Fayette County and Dr. Younker could clearly perceive the need for a facility that would provide, under a single roof, not only complete companion animal medical care, but also boarding and grooming facilities for the rapidly expanding community.
LaFayette Center Animal Hospital is proud of its excellent reputation for the highest standards in animal care and, of equal importance, its exceptional client relations. The staff at LaFayette Center is chosen not only for their medical expertise, but also for their compassion for the animals and their owners.
In 1990, LaFayette Center Animal Hospital became an accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). AAHA is an international association of more than 17,000 veterinary care providers who treat companion animals. Established in 1933, AAHA is well known among veterinarians and pet owners for its standards for hospitals and pet health care. Over 2,800 veterinary hospitals voluntarily participate in the AAHA hospital evaluation program. Trained consultants regularly visit these hospitals to ensure compliance with AAHA's standards for services and facilities. We are proud to be a member of AAHA!

Dr. Mike Younker
|
|
Veterinarian, DVM and Owner
|
|
Dr. Mike Younker graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Terri, he moved to the south side of Atlanta and practiced in Riverdale for six years. This proved to be a great learning experience which led to building LaFayette Center Animal Hospital (LCAH) in 1987. Dr. Younker broke ground on the clinic on his 30'th birthday in 1987 (OK, go ahead and do the math!) and has been busy ever since.
Dr. Mike's interests include music (guitar, cello, mandolin, harmonica), golf, snow skiing, gardening, and woodworking. He tries to learn something about a new musical instrument every year. He and Terri have three beautiful daughters: Amy, Hannah, and Kingslea. They keep their parents very busy. Along with his duties at LaFayette Center, Dr. Younker is the Hospital Manager at Southern Crescent Animal Emergency Clinic, coordinating the business aspects and the personnel. You can be sure that he strives to encourage excellence at your emergency clinic as well as at LaFayette Center.
Dr. Younker is President-Elect of the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association, the voice of veterinarians in Georgia.

She has helped to put LaFayette Center Animal Hospital "on the map" as a clinic providing high quality and high tech services. She has been a welcome addition to our staff.
