Dr. Dan worked at several practices in Lake County but in 1994 he was able to achieve his dream of clinic ownership when he purchased the Hebron Animal Clinic, originally located on Maple Avenue. After 15 years, a bigger dream was secured and the construction began on our brand-new facility which opened on September 1, 2010.
