Meet our Azalea team!

Patrick Hutchison, CVT, serves as the Practice Manager at Azalea Veterinary Clinic. He graduated from Penn Foster College in 2018 and has dedicated his career to caring for a wide variety of species, from large farm animals to the smallest companion pets. Patrick has a special passion for emergency medicine, anesthesia, and exotic animal care, with a particular interest in reptiles. He also has a soft spot for cattle and enjoys opportunities to work with large animal patients whenever he can.

As Practice Manager, Patrick is committed to creating a welcoming environment for clients, supporting the veterinary team, and ensuring every patient receives exceptional care.

When he’s not at the clinic, you’ll likely find Patrick relaxing by the pool, spending time with friends and family, or playing his Nintendo Switch while eagerly awaiting the next Pokémon release.

We’re turning Exam Room #1 into a cat-only room 🐱

We want it to feel calm, cozy, and designed specifically with feline patients in min. Things like window perches, calming textures, hiding spots, and cat-friendly touches.

If your cat could design the perfect vet room… what would they want in it? 👀🐾
