History
Noblesville Veterinary Clinic is celebrating its 55th year in practice. The original clinic was established in 1953 by Dr. James Fleck, a 1953 graduate of the Ohio State School of Veterinary Medicine. This clinic was a mixed animal practice with its primary focus on food animal medicine, including treatment of cattle, sheep, goats, chicken and horses used on the farm. They also treated small companion animals from the local community, including dogs, cats, ferrets and horses.
To make a long story short, Indianapolis grew, farms sold, superstores arrived, people with companion animals moved in... all the while, we evolved by meeting each challenge with the great and small things - hope, faith, love and a willingness to change.
Dr. James Fleck is still active in addressing the direction of the practice, helping us to look back on our experiences to draw mature conclusions about disease processes. In many ways, veterinary medicine is and will continue to be a reactive medicine -- we react to disease or injury with a medicine or surgery. But we also know from our experiences the many reasons why we need to direct our newest programs toward preventive medicine. We want to look at factors that we have seen in certain disease states and direct diet and lifestyle change to help prevent these diseases.
Currently Dr. Tim Fleck, a 1976 graduate of Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine, owns and operates the clinic. He was certified by AVCA in 1992, and received his certification in acupuncture by IVAS in 1995. He also received his Diplomat certificate from AVCA in 1995. He is a member of the AVMA, AAHA, AAEP, IVAS, AAVA, AVCA and IVMA. He spent 6 years on the Arabian Horse Association judges and stewart education and evaluation committee. He is on the Governing Board of the Arabian Horse Registry. He is the current Vice Chair of the Arabian Horse Association Equine Stress committee. He is the immediate past President of the Indiana Arabian Horse Association. We are excited to see what the future may bring and look at veterinary medicine through its past, present and future.
