PILCHUCK VET URGENT CARE CENTER

Medical > Vets

Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital was started by Dr. Bob Darlington, a graduate of CVM-WSU, who purchased Dr. Wayne Klizer's veterinary practice located at the site which is now the Snohomish Inn. The practice grew and in 1964 Dr. Darlington invited his classmate, Dr. Gary Duskin, to join him in his practice here in Snohomish. Their practice focused on house calls to administer care to both small and large animals.
Then a unique practice came to fruition: they relocated to a “haul in facility” mainly for cattle. This was a new concept in the large animal veterinary field. This led both of them to the work they truly loved: Bob becoming the dairy cattle veterinarian and Gary the equine medicine and surgery practitioner.
Dr. Darlington and Dr. Duskin realized one more area of veterinary medicine needed to be fulfilled, so Dr. John Mitten was asked to join their practice in 1970 as the small animal veterinarian. At this point, Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital was considered the most departmentalized animal medical facility at the time.
