About Ridgeview Animal Hospital

Hospitals and Health Care
11-50

The origins of Omaha Vets Group:

Ridgeview Animal Hospital was established by Dr. Joanne Gaines in a growing West Omaha in 2001. At the time, Wal-Mart had just opened across the street and Lowe’s was under construction. To the west was nothing but open horizon!

Dr. Gaines had the goal of opening a practice where she could provide progressive, quality veterinary care efficiently and with a personal touch. By 2003, we had two full-time doctors, and in 2005 Dr. Gaines’s husband Adam joined the practice as Business Manager. Soon the hospital building was expanded and we added a third veterinarian. As of today, we have four veterinarians and eight licensed veterinary technicians on staff to serve you and your pet!

In 2008, Dr. Gaines opened Walnut Creek Veterinary Clinic in Papillion with BJ Ravnsborg, a classmate from Kansas State University. That partnership also led to the opening of Skyline Veterinary Clinic in Elkhorn in 2016. 2021 brought the addition of The Ridge, as a satellite clinic to Ridgeview. Fall of 2022 brought the addition of Dr. Michael Siggers to our group, changing his clinic name to Cottner Creek Pet Clinic.

2023 the network of clinics was officially branded "Omaha Vets Group", and our newest location Coventry Veterinary Clinic slated for summer. Nearing 100 full time employees and counting, including our own administrative team to handle our own IT, accounting and payroll, as well as the day to day management of the clinics. We are proud of our integrated management approach that is local and allows our teams to collaborate for the benefit of the pets in our community.

We are proud to offer full-service veterinary care for pets and we make their comfort and happiness our priority. Routine wellness care, advanced diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, behavior, nutrition, on-site lab, pharmacy, grooming, acupuncture and more—we want to be a one-stop resource and a partner the pet’s health care. All our facilities focus on preventive care and client education to give pets as many happy, healthy years as possible.

Just as they were when Ridgeview first opened, our core values remain intact: we are Progressive, Compassionate, Trustworthy, value Teamwork and most of all, a Family. We get to know our clients personally, value their time, and always try to exceed their expectations.
