Salem Park Veterinary Clinic

In 1977, Salem Park Veterinary Clinic was founded by Dr. Lyle L. Scott. He was born and raised in the Willamette Valley, and after graduating from Colorado State University with a DVM, he moved back. His primary area of interest at first was large animal medicine. He started treating cats and dogs on the farms he visited as his practice increased, and finally he needed a clinic space. Due to his generosity, compassion, and medical knowledge, Dr. Scott developed enduring relationships with many of his clients and patients. A number of the patients that came to the clinic when it first opened are still with us now.

When Dr. Kathleen E. Hanifen received her DVM from Oregon State University, she had been a patient of Dr. Scott's for about 20 years. She is a client.
