Our History

"Experienced, Professional Veterinary Care Serving the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area and Beyond"


The roots of our practice go all the way back to 1970 when Dr. Douglas Coatney started a veterinary clinic in the Centerville area shortly after graduating from The Ohio State Veterinary Medical School. Following a year of practice, the clinic had grown so much that it was moved to its current location on Far Hills Avenue in Centerville. Word of the new veterinary clinic spread quickly and FHAC became known for its unique blend of personable care and high-quality, professional services. The clinic continued to expand at its new location, while remaining true to its roots with the addition of Dr. Coatney’s daughter, Dr. Emily Coatney-Smith, in 1995 and Dr. Coatney’s son, Dr. Adam Coatney-Schuler, in 2003.

In 2011, Dr. Douglas Coatney retired and his daughter and son took over leadership of the clinic. The FHAC family has continued to expand with the addition of another veterinarian and the inclusion of exciting new services such as advanced orthopedic surgical procedures and digital diagnostic imaging.

Today Far Hills Animal Clinic is a full-service veterinary hospital using the latest techniques and equipment to assist in the care of your pets.
