Our Doctors

After 41 years in veterinary medicine, our fearless leader has officially retired. We do get him to come in for occasional surgery consults. That is, when he is not too busy woodworking, blacksmithing, creating 'thrills on the grill' (he's a really good cook and grill master), or playing tennis!
