Virgin Valley Veterinary Hospital was established as a mobile pet clinic servicing the Clark County animal population as well as the City of Mesquite's domestic animals. This service was started by Dr. Brown and Dr. Steyee in February 1997. By the next year, they came to a decision to set down permanent roots in Mesquite and opened their doors at the current clinic in February 1998. Since this time, we have faithfully provided exceptional animal healthcare to various types of animals from young to old.
