I was born in Texas and raised in a small farming community in Oregon. I graduated from Oregon State University and I am the 10th Veterinarian in my family. I have been practicing medicine in the tri-city area for 18 years. My passion is to enhance the human-animal bond and I feel I can relate to people from all walks of life. I enjoy doing orthopedic surgical procedures and physical therapy options such as our hydrotherapy treadmill, acupuncture and laser.
