About Our Team
Loving Pets and Their Humans
It takes a team to run a Vet hospital and PAH has the best. It’s not just a team, it’s a family.
Our Team Rocks
PAH is an extended family, and Dr. Mike takes pride in recruiting and developing the best staff and veterinarians. The team members at PAH are dedicated to loving animals and caring for their owners. Many of the veterinary technicians have been part of the team for over a decade! This means that they develop long-term relationships with clients and patients, which improves patient care and client communication.
