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.

Building a Dental Office Is Not Your Average Construction Project

If you're thinking about building or renovating a dental office, you've probably already realized this isn't your typical construction project. Creating an amazing dental space involves so much more than just putting up walls and installing some fancy chairs. It's about crafting an environment where patients feel at ease (even when they're nervous about that root canal!) and where your team can work efficiently to provide top-notch care.

Joel Tellez Brings Consistency, Client Care To DSC For 20 Years

After growing up in Washington State and working construction for most of his life, Joel Tellez wound up in Smyrna, where he became a superintendent for Olympian Construction. One day, he was sitting in the pickup line at Thurman Francis Arts Academy in his work truck when Dow Smith­—who also had kids at the school—came over and struck up a conversation. A few months later, Joel was working at DSC. Last week, he celebrated 20 years with the company.

Our Purpose In Action At Smyrna Middle School

At Dow Smith Company, our purpose is to serve. That spirit of service shows up in the way we take care of each other, the exceptional and unique experiences we provide clients, and in our dedication to the community in which we live and work. We recently completed a bathroom restoration project at Smyrna Middle School (SMS). This project comes after we built an outdoor theater for Smyrna Elementary School in 2023 and a new field house for Smyrna High School in 2024.
