Dr. Annamaria Tadlock DVM

Dr. Tadlock grew up in rural Oregon caring for a menagerie of pets - dogs, cats, chicken, geese, goats, horses, and a pig. When she was 11 she wrote in her diary, “I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up”. 

She graduated with honors in biology at Oregon State University, and then spent a summer helping collect samples for scientific research on immunology in wild rodents, which had her setting traps and drawing blood from rats, mice, and squirrels across Oregon. She attended vet school also at OSU, and after graduation was accepted into a competitive internship program at Westvet (now MedVet) in Boise, ID which included rotating through specialty services  including emergency and critical care, surgery, internal medicine, oncology, radiology, ophthalmology, cardiology, and dentistry. She fell in love with emergency medicine and moved to Utah to work night shifts at a busy corporate 24/7 pet ER where she met Dr. Ravitz. After several years, she realized the corporate world was too constraining, and she joined Dr. Ravitz in establishing an urgent care service out of the Millcreek Veterinary Clinic. 

She and her fiancée  live with a perfect brown rescue dog, two cats, and a flock of hens. 

Dr. Toshiko Burton DVM

Hello! My name is Dr. Toshiko Burton. I grew up in Tokyo, Japan where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at Rikkyo University. My life took a 180 degree turn when I moved to the U.S. and decided to pursue veterinary medicine. I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Washington State University. I’ve always loved animals, but I didn’t realize how much I TRULY loved them until I started working as a veterinarian. I’ve practiced in many places since graduating: Idaho, Vegas, Minnesota, and now Utah, however Utah is by far, my favorite place to practice. Although it is a bit dry for me, I enjoy the amazing nature I am surrounded by as well as the opportunity to explore it with my beloved creatures and human creature, Hanna. I love cats and dogs but, I especially love big dogs. Great Danes are possibly the greatest gift that nature has given to us. Aside from my love for Great Danes, I love practicing dentistry and I am a firm believer in preventive care.
