About Us

With six full-time veterinarians, St Francis Animal Hospital stands ready to provide routine and emergency care to all your companion animal's needs. Our new facility opened in September 2004 and has 7 exam rooms, a cutting-edge surgical suite, dental services room, and a kennel that is monitored 24 hours a day.

St Francis Animal Hospital is an outgrowth of the Augusta West Veterinary Clinic, a practice started by David Tribby, D.V.M. in 1986. Before that, Dr. Tribby had already practiced veterinary medicine in Augusta for more than 22 years. His son, Mark Tribby, D.V.M., purchased the practice in 2001 and soon realized the practice was growing beyond their existing facilities. He partnererd with Curt Garner, D.V.M to establish a veterinary facility that incorporated the high-tech world of modern medicine and compassion toward God's creatures that St Francis of Assissi exemplified. Thus, St Francis Animal Hospital was conceived.
