Animal Care Hospital of Phoenix

Dr. John Matchette created the Animal Care Hospital of Phoenix in 1964. The first hospital was just a few blocks east of our current location on Thomas Road. In 1981, we relocated the practice to its current location, just west of 32nd Street.

Dr. Stephen Bishop, Dr. Mark Halver, and Dr. Tara Temple joined the practice in 1973, 1981, and 2006, respectively. From 1977 through 1988, Dr. Bishop was the director of our outpatient clinic (Animal Care Clinic). The practice was located at 20th Street and Camelback in the Town and Country retail center.
