Animal Clinic of Chardon

ACOC was founded by Dr Ron Swartz in 1980 in a renovated ice cream shop (then located on Route 44). Dr Swartz moved the practice into a "modern" building he built at the current location the following year, where he practiced high quality veterinary medicine for the next two decades.

In the late 1990s, Dr Swartz decided he was ready to slow down his busy pace and began his search for somebody to continue his legacy. In 2001 Dr Swartz chose to turn the reigns over to Drs. Tom and Wendy Frankmann.

Drs. Tom and Wendy continued to build the practice around a strong belief in patient care and client service. The clinic was computerized and staff was expanded to include a trained and certified nursing staff. In 2008, Dr DeMarco joined the practice. It became increasingly challenging to practice modern medicine and grow in a small, aging medical facility…..

Wendy and Tom drew upon many professionals in the veterinary field to create a state of the art medical facility to meet the needs of clients and pets and to offer an even wider array of services to the community....These dreams became a reality when the new ACOC facility opened its doors on August 13, 2012.
