Mountain West Animal Hospital™ got its start in 1977, just one year after a hard working young doctor, Harold Davis, graduated from Washington State University. This young doctor had big dreams and decided to set down roots with his growing family in Springville. For many years Dr. Davis worked long and hard to be able to serve this community. He built a tradition of love and compassion while providing a great service to the community and building a firm foundation. He has been with Mountain West™ for over forty years. He still works every Wednesday at the clinic.
Dr. Isaac Bott purchased the hospital in 2014. He continues to keep the tradition of compassionate and dedicated service that makes Mountain West Animal Hospital™ unique.
Dr. Bott is uniquely qualified in theriogenology (animal reproduction) and his work in cervid and small ruminant reproduction has generated him international attention.
DocBott has traveled the world gaining experiences and providing animal reproductive services. He has pioneered assistive reproduction technologies in reindeer, water buffalo, bighorn sheep and a number of other species. He dedicates himself to learning and practicing the best medicine for his patients.
