The team your pets know and trust 

Dr Jay Crisman’s career has taken him from Auburn University to a two-year internship in Las Vegas, years of leadership as a Medical Director, and nationwide experience training veterinarians across the U.S. Through it all, he’s built deep expertise in surgery, especially orthopaedics, advanced soft tissue procedures and more than 20 years of surgical laser experience. In 2013, he returned to his roots and purchased 280 AMC, where he’s shaped a hospitality-centred, patient-first practice ever since.
