🐾🩺 On Today’s Edition of “Get to Know Our Veterinary Staff”
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to one of our new doctors and owners! 💕🐶🐱
As many of our longtime clients know, our beloved Dr. Downes has been an important part of our veterinary family for many years. As he gets older, he is looking forward to slowing down a little, spending more well-deserved time with his family, and cutting back on his demanding veterinary schedule.
To help make that transition possible—and to make sure our patients continue receiving the attentive, compassionate care they deserve—we have welcomed an amazing team of additional veterinarians to our hospital. 🩺🐾
Our new doctors are helping share the busy day-to-day responsibilities of veterinary medicine while allowing Dr. Downes to continue seeing the patients and families he loves, just at a more manageable pace. ❤️
We want to give all of you the opportunity to get to know the wonderful doctors and team members behind the scenes!
Stay tuned to learn a little more about who they are, what inspired them to become a veterinarian, their special interests in veterinary medicine, and a few fun facts about them outside of the hospital! 🐕🐈🩺💕
We’re so excited for this next chapter and incredibly grateful to our clients for continuing to trust our veterinary team with the care of your beloved pets. ❤️
