Doctors
Dr. Ken Genova
As the owner of Tigard Animal Hospital, I am excited to meet you and your pets and to let you know what you can look forward to.

In those years, I have been an emergency care specialist, a general practitioner, an educator at the Michigan State University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. and a consultant in special care to a 170-veterinary hospital group.
