WILLIAMS, Ariz. — Although treating pets since February, Williams Veterinary Wellness held a Grand Opening celebration Aug. 26.
Veterinarian Patrick Ryan acquired the clinic after former veterinarian, Dr. Daniel Jacoby, relocated. Ryan knew Jacoby from his time working at Aspen Clinic, where he would refer clients for advanced diagnostics when necessary. After Jacoby announced he was leaving his Williams practice, Ryan decided it would be a good location to open his own practice
Ryan said the goal for Williams Veterinary Wellness is to provide quality veterinary care and help the community develop healthy relationship with their pets.
Although not able to treat large animals, Ryan provides preventive medicine including shots, examinations, x-rays and surgeries, among other options.
He also can treat exotic animals, such as lizards, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, hedgehogs and more.
Ryan said he also has a special place in his heart for behavioral issues and hopes to teach humans to understand their pet better.
Before pursuing a veterinarian degree, Ryan served in the U.S. Army from 1998-2005, first as a Calvary Scout doing reconnaissance and later as a military police officer. He also deployed to Iraq.
After his time in the service was complete, Ryan moved to Colorado where he attended Colorado State University. He graduated in 2013 with a doctorate in veterinarian medicine.
His first job as a veterinarian was in Prescott Valley, Arizona, however, most recently he worked at the Aspen Clinic in Flagstaff prior to opening the Williams clinic.
