We are sad to announce the recent sudden unexpected passing of Dr. Cristy Iverson. She was a dedicated veterinarian and a vital part of the Alta Vista family. A compassionate caretaker of animals, she was also a loving mother, grandmother and dear friend to us all. She was a highly skilled surgeon who was always positive and always strived for the best care of our four legged friends. Her care for both animals and people was always evident with her gentle nature. She was not only a great veterinarian; she was also a great person who made a difference in the lives of so many people and animals. Dr. Iverson will be greatly missed.

Dr. Iverson was born in Phoenix and lived her entire life in Arizona. She attended Washington High School, and did her undergraduate work at the University of Arizona (go cats!) Dr. Iverson received her veterinary degree in 1976 from Colorado State University. The Humane Society hired her shortly after graduating. She then went on to work at Cortez Animal Hospital for many years before joining us at Alta Vista.

Dr Iverson's daughter Lindsey, has set up a blog site in honor of her mom. Please check out this link for more information
