Meet the Team

Dr. Dan Emerson is a Washington native and grew up just over the mountains in Wenatchee, WA. When he was younger, he always wanted to be a scientist but realized that being a veterinarian is a fantastic way to apply science to a hands-on career. Dr. Emerson graduated from the Washington State University veterinary school in 1979 and has served Washington residents ever since.

Today, Dr. Emerson calls Puyallup his home and lives there with his wife. He has three adult children, two grandkids, and two dogs. Dr. Emerson believes the best part of his job is connecting with his clients, and his hidden talent is that he is learning Spanish and tries to speak the language as much as possible.
