D. Tim Crowe, DVM, DACVS, DACVECC, FCCM, Chief of Staff “When I was a young boy, my dog Spot saved my life while we were playing on a country road. As a speeding car bore down on us, Spot lunged and pushed me out of harm’s way, but died in the process. From that day forward, it was imprinted upon me to become a veterinarian specializing in emergency care and trauma. Every now and then, we have the opportunity to associate with others who truly share a remarkable compassion toward pets and their owners during emergency or critical care situations. I am fortunate to be surrounded by such people.”
