Premier VetCare
Owner: Dr. Mike Hatcher
Location: 13197 Old Nashville Highway, Smyrna, Tennessee
Project Delivery: Design-Build
Project Scope: Pre-construction services and new construction of a veterinary care facility
Dr. Hatcher’s five-year lease was due to expire and his existing location could not accommodate future growth. We began by helping Dr. Hatcher perform due diligence on potential sites and helped him make his final site selection.
The new 6,600-square-foot facility includes exam rooms, surgical suites, procedure rooms, a pharmacy and overnight accommodations for pets. The new facility has allowed Dr. Hatcher to hire more providers and to expand his practice.
In addition, we were able to assist Dr. Hatcher and his wife, Stacey, in constructing a facility for their other business, Creature Comforts Kennel, an 8,000-square-foot facility constructed adjacent to Premier VetCare.
Twelve years ago, when Dow Smith’s son was playing football for Smyrna High School, they walked into an opposing team’s weight room and Dow was impressed by the facility and all of the things that were available to that team’s players. But he also had a chip on his shoulder because he didn’t understand why the athletes at Smyrna High didn’t have everything they needed to be successful.
