Getting to know Dr. Teresa Juetten ( Rhymes with Button)
I am the product of an Air Force career officer and his WWII British warbride. I grew up in Mesa and have worked in Scottsdale since 1974. I started out training Arabian and other horses at McCormick Ranch Stables (back when Pima and Shea were gravel roads!) I began working at the original Quartz Mountain Animal Hospital in 1976 as a kennel cleaner, then as a certified veterinary technician as I worked my way toward a Bachelor of Science degree from ASUs School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I received my doctorate from Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1985.
I've worked as a small animal practitioner since then and as of July 2005, purchased the Animal Hospital at Terravita from its previous corporate owner. I enjoy all aspects of general medicine and surgery. My special interests include dermatology (eradicating ear infections; allergic itchy skin), Valley Fever, dentistry, tumors, and fractious, frightened felines (trying to soothe upset cats). I am also dedicated to work with pet owners to optimize and maximize the lifespans of their beloved pets, starting in a puppy or kittens youth and continuing through their late teen years.
Its wonderful thing to be a part of pets' and their human family members development over the years. We look forward to being a great help to you and your family for many years to come. It will be my great pleasure to serve as your pets personal doctor. Please feel welcome to come in to meet me and my dedicated staff.
