Ajo Veterinary Clinic

Ajo Veterinary Clinic was not born of well laid plans and a carefully thought out future.
I had come to Tucson after graduation for two reasons; I loved the town and was offered a job here. After two years I bough the part time practice I had been hired to run in Green Valley, then just a wide spot in the road. It was only open two afternoons a week so I did house calls and relief work to make ends meet.

I realized that the south west side of Tucson was under served. I saw a fair sized building
For rent on Ajo way and rented it. Remodeled it with the help of a couple of friends and a small loan and opened the doors in April of 1973.

We have grown and changed, and are now a fully accredited AAHA hospital. With a well-trained staff of 14, including 3 certified technicians and four doctors. We provide in-house laboratory services, surgery, radiology, dentistry, pain management, and computerized paperless medical records, to a wonderful and varied clientele. Our focus is on excellence in medicine and great service.
