Our Newport News veterinary clinic, Deer Park Animal Hospital has been in operation since the 1980s, and was taken over by Dr. John Savell in 2003. Our veterinary hospital has continuously worked to provide top quality surgical and dental services to pets and pet owners in the surrounding areas of Yorktown, Poquoson, Glouchester, Williamsburg and Hampton.
While we have always been a complete service hospital, we have decided that we are making a greater impact in the health and well-being of pets providing them with care that they would either not receive or be euthanized. For this reason in 2017 we are making the change to a surgery and dentistry only practice.
Deer Park Animal Hospital offers advanced care in our state of the art facility. Our staff is, in a very real sense, family. Dr. Savell and his wife, Karen are a husband and wife team who are highly qualified and dedicated to assisting you and your pet with all your veterinary surgical needs. We understand that your pets are literally part of your family. That is why we say that we are a family helping families.
Dr. John Savell obtained his degree in Veterinary Medicine from Louisiana State University in 1992. He first practiced in Lake Charles, Louisiana for 6 years, before moving to Hampton and practicing another 5 years. After that, he took over here at Deer Park Animal Hospital.
Karen Savell is licensed as a Veterinary Technician (LVT) since 1990. She graduated from Northwestern State University and is originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana.
