Dr. Kelli Evans - BUCKEYE, AZ

Arizona has always been my home. I grew up in my younger years in Buckeye where I attended Liberty Elementary School. My family then moved to Dewey near the Prescott area. During those years I participated in 4-H and Future Farmers of America raising pigs. I have always been surrounded by a variety of farm and small animals. I graduated from The University of Arizona in 2005 with a bachelor's in Veterinary Science and Microbiology. While in Tucson, I volunteered in wildlife rehabilitation as well as working in a veterinary setting. I graduated from veterinary school in 2009 from St. George's University which is located in Grenada, West Indies. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to live in a different country, not to mention the gorgeous beaches! My fourth year of veterinary school was completed at the University of Minnesota. This year taught me that my home is in the desert and I returned to Arizona once graduated!
My husband, Jose, is from Puerto Rico and has had to adjust to life outside the tropics but we both thoroughly enjoy living in Arizona and working on the home we have established here. We met in vet school and have been inseparable since. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends as well as reading, getting outdoors when able and working on my most recent project of attempting to learn Spanish. We have two dogs, both adopted off the streets, named Sara and Sally as well as two Sulcata tortoises named Roz and Crush. The 4 legged kids are soon to have a shock when we add our first 2 legged child to the mix in March 2014!
I feel the human-animal bond is so special and plays such an important role in our lives. Your furry friends will be treated as our own at North Buckeye Animal Hospital and I look forward to meeting your family!
