About Highland
Veterinary Clinic
Where compassionate veterinary care meets lasting relationships.
An established family practice with a forward-looking approach to medicine. We care for the pet, the person who knows them best, and the relationship that makes every recommendation matter.
A veterinary legacy in Southwest Indiana since 1973
- An independent family practice
- Prevention with purpose
- The human-animal bond at heart
A family practice in every sense
Independent in ownership.
Connected in care.
Highland pairs current, evidence-based veterinary medicine with the warmth of a neighborhood practice. Our defining strength is human: the relationships among patients, families, and the people who care for them.
Knowledgeable yet kind.
Clinical yet caring.
Medical competence and genuine empathy belong together.
You should feel comfortable asking questions, sharing what you notice, and understanding why a recommendation makes sense.
The Highland way
Prevention comes first
We plan for health, not only respond to illness. Everyday care, early observations, and appropriate monitoring help shape the years ahead.
Your pet sets the plan
Age, lifestyle, clinical evidence, and your family's goals all matter. Personalized medicine is a considered recommendation, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
A relationship over time
From puppy and kitten visits through senior, comfort, and end-of-life care, Highland supports both the patient's health and the family's experience.
Our mission
Care for the whole relationship
Compassion, backed by medicine
Our mission is to deliver exceptional, compassionate veterinary care through preventive medicine, personalized treatment, innovation, and a deep commitment to the human-animal bond.
A team supported to thrive
We serve pets and their families with clinical excellence and empathy while cultivating a veterinary team whose growth, expertise, well-being, and contributions are valued.
Relationships at the heart
Through trust, education, collaboration, and lifelong partnership, we care for the relationships that connect animals, people, veterinary professionals, and our community.

Built here, growing here
Family roots.
A forward-looking practice.
Our story starts before the Highland name. The Gormley family's early practice, the Stringtown years, and the clinic on Darmstadt Road are distinct chapters of one local veterinary legacy.
-
1973
The first chapter
Dr. Gormley began practicing veterinary medicine. That work established the foundation for a veterinary legacy in Southwest Indiana — before Highland Veterinary Clinic itself was built.
-
1978
The Stringtown years
Stringtown Veterinary Clinic began as a small, mixed-animal practice in a strip mall about two miles from today's Highland clinic.
-
1986
Highland's chapter begins
Highland Veterinary Clinic was built. As veterinary medicine grew and evolved in the community, the family practice found the home on Darmstadt Road that Highland knows today.
Rooted in community. Invested in the care ahead.
Experience, carried forward.
An established history and professional curiosity can grow together. Highland's commitment is to preserve the familiarity families value while continuing to learn, refine care, and use current medicine thoughtfully.

a bigger living world.

Animals. People.
A shared home.
The human, cat, and dog in Highland's emblem remind us that veterinary care is also relationship care. The complete circle reflects stability and whole-life support.
That perspective reaches beyond an appointment: into family life, veterinary teamwork, community education, and the place we call home.
