Our History
Located in Baton Rouge's Mid-City/Goodwood area, Capital Heights Veterinary Clinic is an independent, locally owned practice that has been serving the healthcare needs of pets for almost 50 years. Established in 1973 and originally known as Mistretta Veterinary Clinic, the practice was purchased by Dr. Emily Taylor in 2010 and renamed Capital Heights Veterinary Clinic. Through hard work and the support of loyal clients, the clinic outgrew its previous facility and moved to a newer and larger building at 7662 Goodwood Boulevard in 2015.
Our Team
Our team is led by Dr. Emily Taylor, Dr. Lori Schega, and Dr. Mary Davis, who are dedicated to delivering exceptional medicine and compassionate care. Our staff is committed to treating your pet with kindness and compassion, and we want to partner with you to help make that happen.
