Veterinarian Overview
Welcome to Kirtland Veterinary Hospital! My name is Joel Percival. I have been practicing veterinary medicine since I graduated from The Ohio State University in 1987. I am a lifelong resident of Lake County. I graduated from Riverside High School and attended Hiram College prior to entering veterinary school. After working as an associate veterinarian for four years, I started Big Creek Veterinary Hospital in Concord as a solo practitioner in 1991and in 2003 I purchased Kirtland Veterinary Hospital from Dr. Kroh. I was hired by Dr. Kroh right out of veterinary school and I had the pleasure of working for him for two years. Now I have the pleasure of continuing to grow the practice he established in 1967.I truly enjoy the small town feel of Kirtland Veterinary Hospital and having the time to get to know our clients and their pets at a more personable level. I have always enjoyed the variety and challenge of working with small animals. I especially enjoy the surgery aspect of the practice.I am currently a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Ohio Veterinary Medical Association, American Association of Equine Practitioners and the Northeast Ohio Equine Practitioners Association. Over the past several years, I have been especially proud of the excellent staff and the veterinarians that we have been able to assemble as a team here at Kirtlan
