“I am so grateful to have worked in this amazing community, caring for so many wonderful pets, for 36 years,” said Dr. Pat Mahoney. “My clients and teammates have become like family to me. I will miss everyone, but am confident the new doctors will continue to lead the clinic to provide the best services available.”
