Veterinarian and Owner
Dr. Ford is a 1997 graduate of Colorado State University. She has been practicing in the valley and surrounding areas since 1997. She is an Arizona native and grew up in the Glendale area. As a teen she was very active in the Arizona 4-H program and was a member of the equine, canine and veterinary science programs. Her love and interest in companion animals and veterinary medicine was obvious at a very young age.
Dr. Ford's training at Colorado State is in traditional western medicine. However, over the last two decades, she has added to her repertoire many holistic and alternative treatment options to offer her patients. She prefers to use a blend of both traditional western medicine as well as alternative medicine to best help her patients. This is called integrative or complementary therapy. She will occasionally use a combination of traditional medicine, nutritional supplementation, herbal formulation and acupuncture to achieve the best treatment outcome. She is also certified in Companion Animal Rehabilitation. She believes in the benefit of holistic health care and preventative medicine to promote wellness for all pets.
"Arizona Animal Wellness Center is the embodiment of its name. Our team strives to inform our clients of all health care options and stresses the importance of preventative health care in an effort to attain well being for all patients. My hope is to offer the most quality health care available and effectively and openly communicate with our clients. This will build a partnership that allows you to take an active role in the health care of your loved one."
