Altadena Valley Animal Clinic

Dr. Grimes grew up in Anniston, Alabama, with a variety of pets ranging from cats to horses. She went to Auburn University and graduated from the Auburn University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. In 1984, she began practicing in Birmingham, Alabama, and in 1995, she purchased Altadena Valley Animal Clinic. Up until 2008, when Dr. Grimes expanded into the adjoining building, the clinic offered regular boarding for cats and dogs in addition to veterinary services. This development resulted in the addition of eight magnificent dog apartments, as well as a large new cat boarding area and cat playroom. Building long-term relationships with her customers, both human and animal, is something Dr. Grimes enjoys about her job as a veterinarian.
