History
Established in 1970.
North Concho Veterinary Clinic was established in 1970 with the goal to provide complete and compassionate medicine, surgery, and preventive care to pets of all ages, while building long lasting friendships with pet owners throughout the San Angelo community.
Purchased in 2005 by Dr. John E. Russell, D.V.M., this continues to be our goal. Because of Dr. Russell's caring and compassionate care for animals and his investment in education and technology, our clinic has been able to expand and grow, and provide the most up-to-date care to our patients. We have grown while still keeping the same level of personal service our clients deserve and expect.
