  • Dr. Heinnickel and Teresa Heinnickel
    Veterinarian and Office Manager

    Dr. Heinnickel was born and raised just a few miles away from the clinic on Heinnickel Farms. His love of animals led to his study of animal bioscience at Penn State University, from which he graduated in May of 1999. He then continued his studies at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University. He graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in June of 2003. He started practicing veterinary medicine right out of school, and in March of 2007, he moved home to start his own business. “Doc,” as he's affectionately called, started out seeing primarily large animal patients, but after four years, he opened the small animal clinic. As an owner of a small business, veterinarian, and father of five children, Dr. Heinnickel rarely has much free time, but when he does, he spends it rebuilding trucks, making home improvements, and playing the drums.

    Co-owner and practice manager, Teresa grew up on a local dairy farm where she was no stranger to long hours. Her love of animals and hard work ethic quickly grew into a career when she graduated from the veterinary technician program at Median School of Allied Health. She worked as a technician for 15 years before taking time off to raise her five children, affectionately referred to as the “Heinnickel Herd.” However, she could not stay away from the field of veterinary medicine, so she returned to serve as practice manager of Five Points Veterinary Services in 2011. Much like her husband, Doc, Teresa doesn't have much free time between running the practice and managing the chaos of five children. Most of her time is spent searching for new opportunities for her children and business, but on the rare night off, she enjoys relaxing with a glass of wine.
