About

Animal Medical Care is a small animal Veterinary clinic established in 1976 by Dr. Steven Brown providing a wide range of veterinary services. In 1979 Animal Medical Care received it’s AAHA accreditation, and continues to provide the standard of care set forth by AAHA.

In 2012 Animal Medical Care was purchased by his son, Dr. Eric Brown, where he continues to provide the best possible care to our patients and clients.

As a full-service veterinary clinic we provide a wide range of services from wellness exams to surgery. We also have an extensive in-house laboratory allowing us to provide same day results for our patients.

We are proud to be the only locally owned and operated veterinary clinic in Newport.

Dr. Steven R. Brown, A Life, Well Lived
March 1949 – February 2012
Dr. Brown was in the US Army Veterinary Corps from 1970 – 1976. From 1976 until his death in 2012, he was in private practice at Animal Medical Care of Newport, PC. Governor Vic Atiyeh appointed Steven Brown to the Veterinary Medical Examining Board and later he served on the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association, including as president.

Dr. Brown had a close working relationship with the staff at Oregon State University. This led to the ability to author or co-author several veterinary medical publications. He enjoyed being an active member of the local community.

AAHA Approved Facility since 1979

Animal Medical Care has been an AAHA approved facility since 1979 and works hard to provide the best possible medical care to our patients and clients. The hospital continues to be a mixed animal practice treating all types of patients, family pets, farm, exotics and marine mammals.

Full-Service Animal Hospital

In October 2005 the practice moved across the street to a new 6800 sq ft building. The most appreciated “new spaces” are the expanded treatment area, the enclosed large animal bay, the children’s corner and the consultation room.

The hospital has also expanded its services and can offer ultrasound, laser and endoscopic exams as well as in-house lab.
