Since 2016 Dr. Kelly Patriquin, DVM has been providing affordable pet care all over the Valley and in Tucson. Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit (DrKellysVet.com) has six fully equipped vehicles. The services offered include surgical procedures, spay and neuter, and dental care, all provided by an experienced vet and highly trained support staff including nurses and vet techs.
The mobile unit model allows Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit to keep prices low, often as much as 50 percent lower than a traditional vet.
“We don't offer diagnostic care or annual visits,” said Doug Patriquin, CEO and co-owner. “We do only surgeries so we are able to work effectively and efficiently to keep prices down.”
Dr. Patriquin recently opened her first brick-and-mortar clinic right off Hwy 101 and Olive Avenue in Peoria. She believes the location is perfect for connecting with the heart of Peoria and the surrounding areas.
“We see a growing gap between the typical cost of vet care and what the average pet owner can comfortably afford,” said Dr. Patriquin. “Since our first day, our mission has been to keep our services convenient and affordable, and we have grown from one clinic to six simply on the demand for our services.”
Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit has helped more than 120,000 pets in six years. Dr. Patriquin and her team are excited about caring for even more pets in the future.
“This new location will also allow us greater flexibility with significantly more floor space for pets and the ability to add more doctors as we grow.”
