Veterinarian
Dr. Larson graduated from Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine in 1977. He and his wife moved to Los Angeles to complete an internship at West Los Angeles Veterinary Hospital in 1978. In 1983, they returned home to Puyallup to be closer to friends and family and purchased a small practice that fit in our current parking lot.
In September of 2006, Dr. Larson was able to fulfill a dream that was over 20 years in the making. With some creative building and planning, the current state-of-the-art veterinary facility was built around the original office. Over the course of a long weekend, the equipment was moved out of the old building and into the new building and the doors to the current facility were opened the following week. Since then, the team has grown and expanded to better serve the Puyallup community and continue to provide high quality medicine using cutting edge techniques and technologies. Dr. Larson now feels honored to spend a majority of his time doing the complex and challenging surgeries that he loves most. After many years of hard work and dedication, he and his wife, Debra, are very proud of what South Hill Veterinary Hospital has become under their leadership.
Outside of the hospital, Dr. Larson is an active member of the Puyallup Community where he was born and raised. His many volunteer commitments include serving on the boards for NWTrek and the Puyallup Schools Scholarship Foundation.
