Our Team
Dr. Velvet Edwards
VETERINARIAN
Growing up in Wisconsin, Dr. Edwards was the kid who brought home every stray or injured animal she found and she has been caring for them ever since.
She is dedicated to providing expert care for pets and determined to provide accurate information about their care to their families.
Dr. Edwards has a special interest in stem cell regenerative medicine.
Dr. Edwards never grew out of that kid who takes in animals in need, and that is how she came to share her life with 9 cats, 3 dogs, and a tortoise.
Her commitment to leading-edge veterinary medicine combined with her unmatched love and passion for what she calls “our other family members” make her one of the most trusted and sought-after veterinarians in the Greater Phoenix area.
