About the Practice

I always knew I would be an animal doctor when I grew up. I collected pets Besides the normal dogs and cats, baby chicks slept in my bed, crawdads overwintered in the garage, and an alligator lived in the downstairs bathroom. Some arrived with parental permission and many did not! When I was 16, I started working for Dr. Robert Boger. My father asked that he make sure I was exposed to everything hoping I would be dissuaded. I loved every minute!
