Practice With Independence. Share Cases with Colleagues.
"Big City Care, Right Here at Home” is how we’ve always described what we do at Animal Medical Center in Claremore, Oklahoma. When we tell someone about our practice, we start with our team. Our five RVTs and two assistants are the cream of the crop, and we put their skills to work. Our three doctors share cases with each other throughout the day. We enjoy hearing how each doctor would approach a case, and when you join us, we’ll want to hear your take, too.
Every surgical procedure, diagnostic test, and medical procedure we offer is available to you as a new doctor on our team. We trust you to use your clinical judgment, and we’re here to assist, offer direction, or simply walk alongside you. Whether you’re learning a procedure or want another set of eyes on a case, just ask.
Dogs and Cats? Farm Calls, too?
You can focus on dogs and cats or choose mixed practice and add large animal cases and farm calls to your week. Either way, you’ll typically have two support team members to assist you.
We have three ultrasound units (one stationary and two portable), stationary and portable radiology, digital dental X-rays, and an in-house IDEXX lab.
Our facility has a sterile surgery suite, a dedicated dental procedure room, separate feline exam rooms and a feline ward, and haul-in facilities for large animals. We also offer house and farm visits.
We have a CO₂ surgical laser, Sonequence surgical equipment, two therapeutic laser units, and regenerative medicine. We use Scribenote to help with charting as we move toward a paperless practice.
Four Weekdays. Let’s Talk Saturdays.
Small animal: Four weekdays, one Saturday morning a month (8 a.m. to noon), and no on call.
Mixed animal: Four weekdays, with Saturday and on-call coverage. Dr. Gilsleider is happy to talk through your hours and how coverage is shared.
You’ll see wellness visits, work up sick patients, and help clients understand their options. You’ll perform routine surgery and dentistry, with support as you learn new procedures. You’ll work alongside our doctors, RVTs, and assistants to coordinate care and keep clear medical records. If you choose mixed practice, you’ll also see large animal patients in the clinic and on farm calls.

Heartland Veterinary Partners is a support organization that is committed to improving the lives of veterinarians. We purchase veterinary practices and provide operational support to relieve administrative burdens such as payroll, recruiting, HR, marketing and accounts payables. If needed, we invest to support growth. The practices maintain their unique branding, culture and clinical autonomy.
At Heartland, we believe that selling a veterinary practice shouldn’t mean losing what makes it remarkable. When we acquire a practice, the doctor comes first. We listen closely to their needs in order to create a one-of-a-kind solution to ease their administrative burdens—all without disrupting their day-to-day operations, the culture they’ve fostered, and the relationships they’ve built. In other words, the name over the door doesn’t go away. The headaches of running a business do.
Partnering veterinarians appreciate an improved work-life balance, less financial worry, and the confidence that their teams will be in good hands. Best of all, they get to focus on why they entered the business in the first place: to care for animals and to be present when their clients need them most. Practice team members enjoy the warm culture of their individual community practices combined with the support and resources that Heartland brings to the table.
Improving the lives of veterinarians means supporting them at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a veterinary student or a new graduate looking for hands-on learning to begin your career or an experienced veterinarian looking to tackle management and leadership opportunities, we keep your goals at the heart of everything we do.
The Heartland Support Center team is hardwired to serve. We follow the philosophy of servant leadership and put the needs of others first with a genuine desire to help. As a result, Heartland’s practices count on team members to be there for them with heart and solution, not a corporate agenda.
