Dr. Kathy Ranzinger purchased East Valley Animal Clinic in 1995 when it was located within the East Valley Plaza strip mall. In 2001 a new building was erected at our current location. It has grown from a 1 Doctor, 1 technician and 1 receptionist practice to a 6 Doctor practice.
Dr. Ranzinger is very proud of East Valley Animal Clinic, especially the staff. “It is very rewarding to provide a respectful, pleasant work environment where we can all grow together as a team.”
Dr. Ranzinger lives with her husband Dave on a small hobby farm in New Prague. They are raising Angora goats for their mohair and chickens for their eggs. They also have 2 dachshunds, 2 great Pyrenees guardian dogs, 1 border collie, 2 parrots, 1 parakeet, and a growing number of cats!
Dr Ranzinger retired in September 2023. We are sad to see her go and we continue to practice the high quality and compassionate medicine with which she founded this clinic.
