Our Owner
Since the establishment of Animal Ark Veterinary Hospital our owner, Dr. Mitchell Spindel, has provided a vision of going above and beyond to keep the furred, feathered and scaled loved ones of our community happy and healthy. Through more than 20 years of practice, Dr. Spindel continues to instill his vision, energy and standard of excellence for veterinary medicine in all of his employees - ensuring your pets are in the best hands from the moment you walk through our doors.

Mitchell Spindel, DVM
Dr. Spindel earned his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University in 1995. He practiced in Syracuse, New York for two years before he and his wife relocated to beautiful North Carolina. Although Dr. Spindel loves treating dogs and cats, he also has a passion for unusual pets like birds, reptiles, and small mammals. He’ll even care for injured birds of prey, wallabies, kinkajous and an occasional Coati mundi.
​
Active in the Winston-Salem community, Dr. Spindel is the veterinarian for Kaleideum North Museum (formerly known as Sci-Works) and Chairman of the Animal Adoption & Rescue Foundation board. He was instrumental in helping to build the dog park at Tanglewood, as well as heavily involved with animal organizations such as the Forsyth Humane Society and Humane Solutions. Dr. Spindel’s free time is spent planning his next construction project, mountain biking, practicing yoga and spending time with his wife, four children and a plethora of pets.



At Animal Ark, we value our community and take every opportunity to contribute to it. Dr. Spindel volunteers with many local rescue organizations and our entire team supports many local, animal events here in Winston Salem. We also serve as a drop-off location for all injured wildlife.
Our hospital is stocked with the latest in veterinary equipment to aid in the treatment of pets. We have full in-house laboratory services, digital X-ray machines, color-flow doppler ultrasound as well as a comprehensive surgical facility.
We provide microchipping, advanced dentistry, laser therapy and most recently became certified to provide Stem Cell and Monoclonal antibody therapy. We also offer boarding for our feline friends and exotic pets.
