Honoring Dr. Juan Patiño ❤️🐾
Today we celebrate an incredible milestone for someone who means so much to our hospital and our community—Dr. Juan Patiño.
On April 1, 1994, Dr. Patiño joined Kirkpatrick Veterinary Hospital as an associate under Dr. Tim Bowser. What began as a new chapter over 30 years ago has become a lifelong commitment to caring for pets and the people who love them.
For decades, Dr. Patiño has been a constant presence—growing alongside our hospital as it evolved into S**O Veterinary Hospital, and witnessing firsthand the transformation of Orange Avenue and the surrounding community.
Through it all, his dedication has never changed. He has built lasting relationships with generations of families, cared for countless patients, and helped shape the heart of what our hospital is today.
Dr. Patiño is incredibly proud of the work he’s done—but even more grateful. Grateful for the trust, the loyalty, and the continued support from a community that has stood by him for over three decades.
This milestone isn’t just about time—it’s about impact, connection, and a legacy of care.
As his son, I feel incredibly blessed to have learned so much from him—not just about veterinary medicine, but about business, perseverance, and what it truly means to have a strong work ethic.
Thank you, Dr. Patiño, for everything you’ve given to this community. ❤️
