I wanted to drop a note to say Hello๐ and introduce myself, along with some of the new faces you may see at the clinic. The clinic name will change slightly to Oracle 77 Pet Clinic.
I am Dr. Elsa Swenson. I have been a veterinarian in Tucson since graduating with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in 2007, after completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota. I have worked in emergency clinics and larger general practice hospitals in Tucson, but as corporations scoop up pet clinics, they often lose their personal touch. I am a strong advocate for independently owned clinics and the different level of care they can provide.
I was looking into practice ownership when I was fortunate enough to connect with Dr. Nuradin, who was preparing to sell his clinic so he could retire and spend more time caring for his aging parents. I truly enjoyed getting to know him during the ownership change. He is a remarkable person and a very caring veterinarian. I hope to carry on his tradition of compassionate care while also increasing services and appointment availability.
Iโll be joined by another very experienced part-time veterinarian to help us be more available for your pets. I also feel privileged to work with some of the most capable and caring technicians and assistants at the clinic.
When Iโm not at the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter, and our houseful of pets. I love hiking and also play in a recreational soccer league.
We are excited and look forward to getting to know you and your pets. Please feel free to stop by the clinic and say hello!๐ค
