About Us
The doctors and staff at the animal clinic recognize that your pets play a greater role in your lives than just being an animal. Your pet is truly a member of the family. At Pet Med Clinic, Dr. Rick and Dr. Buckner often address you, the client, as “mom” or “dad” in reference to your pets.
