Oquirrh Hills Vet
T
wo men grew up in different places, with different backgrounds, but fate doesn’t discriminate. Dr. Robert Myrick and Dr. David Vaas graduated from Colorado State Veterinary School of Medicine, one year apart from each other in the early 2000s, and the rest is history. Oquirrh Hills Veterinary Center was established in 2004 by both doctors, who have now been working together for over 10 years. The mission of Oquirrh Hills Veterinary Center is to provide the highest quality medical, surgical, boarding and grooming care possible, in an environment that is family-oriented, warm, comfortable and clean. They also strive to maintain a strong focus on client education and service. The modern facility occupies nearly 5,000 square feet with some of the most modern equipment and trained staff in the greater Salt Lake Valley. This allows the center to offer high quality sedation-free grooming, personal lodging for your pet, and the highest quality medicine and surgery available. Their medical and surgical services include: a comprehensive
preventative medicine plan, routine elective and advanced soft tissue or orthopedic surgery, ultrasound, endoscopy, blood chemistries, and even dental care. As a hospital, Oquirrh Hills Veterinary Center is one of only a handful of accredited veterinary hospitals in the state of Utah. To recieve this distinction, the clinic voluntarily went through an on-site evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association, which evaluated many things including patient care, doctor performance, vaccine protocols and standards that define excellence amongst top veterinary hospitals across the nation. Also offered at the center is PennHip certification, of which less than ten veterinarians in the state of Utah offer. This certification is available to better diagnose hip dysplasia at an early age in your pet. “We want our clients to feel that our hospital is their hospital,” says Monica Walters, Practice Manager at Oquirrh Hills Veterinary Center. It’s easy to feel that way with the way the Doctors and staff treat those who come
through their doors, both two-legged and four-legged. To kick of the new year at the center, January will be senior wellness month, educating clients about the specific needs of their pets over the age of 7. This month will focus on promoting wellness screening tests including bloodwork, urinalyses, Heartworm and fecal screenings. Next month is Dental month, and the center is offering a $25 discount on the price of your pet’s Dental Cleaning. A pet is often times just like another member of the family. When that member gets sick or injured, it is important to us, as their family to seek out the best care possible. You can look no further; rest easy knowing that Oquirrh Hills Veterinary Center is the best in the business at taking care of your four-legged family members. Oquirrh Hills Veterinary Center is located at 5714 West 13400 South in Herriman. Call 801-446-5194 to make an appointment or to ask any questions, or visit oquirrhhillsvet.com to learn more. l
