Dr. Curtis Barnett opened Good Hope Animal Hospital in 1987. Dr. Robert Heidecker began working for Dr. Barnett as a kennel technician during the summers of 1987 & 1988.  After completing college he returned to Good Hope in 1996 to work full time as a Doctor of Veterinary medicine.  In 2004 Dr. Heidecker became a partner, and, as of January 2010, he and his wife Jennifer took over sole ownership of Good Hope Animal Hospital.  Jennifer is the Hospital administrator.

We strive to connect with clients and their pets to create and maintain meaningful relationships.  We personally educate our clients in all areas of veterinary medicine, including preventative health care as it relates to each individual pet.  As animal advocates, we expand awareness of the importance of preventative health care for all companion animals.
