Dr. Patten has extensive experience in preventative care, dental procedures, emergency medicine, and soft tissue surgery. She has experience working with greyhounds as well.
Dr. Patten first fell in love with animals as a child. Through years of lobbying and negotiation, she convinced her parents to adopt a dog from the local animal shelter, a floppy-haired terrier mix whom an 8 year-old Dr. Patten named Lollipop. Since then, Dr. Patten’s love of animals has only grown. She currently shares her home with two dogs: Cruz, a pitbull/lab mix, and Mabel, a chocolate toy poodle.
