Our Story

At VCA Tiara Rado Animal Hospital, we’re driven by a mission to provide exceptional care with compassion, integrity, and a deep connection to our community. Our modern facility is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and treatment capabilities, allowing us to deliver high-quality medicine, non-invasive therapies, and surgical care—all under one roof.

We’re proud to have Dr. Troy Everson, a board-certified veterinarian in canine and feline practice through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP), on our team. His expertise reflects our commitment to the highest standards in clinical care and gives local pet families access to advanced, specialized veterinary services—without the need to travel far.

We believe great care starts with a great team. That’s why we foster a positive, family-oriented work environment where ongoing learning and collaboration are encouraged.
