Dr. Michelle Parantala

Dr. Parantala is a Las Vegas native who became a veterinarian because it was the only thing she wanted to be when growing up. She graduated from Bishop Gorman High School, went to University of Nevada, Reno for college, and went on to graduate from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. As her career has progressed, she has realized a love for advocating for those that cannot speak for themselves. Her goal with every patient visit is that both the patient and the owner have the least stressful experience possible and stay well and happy.

Her family is ever evolving and currently includes her husband Stephen, son Solomon, daughter Grace, two rescue dogs Jack Skelligton & Sally, and two rescue cats Stuart and Wesley.

Susie Costa is a veterinarian in Las Vegas, NV. She began her veterinary career in 2001 in Las Vegas and continues to strive to provide the highest quality veterinary care for the community. She loves nature, hiking and spending time with her kids and animals.

After starting in the veterinary field in 2000, Dr. Raymond Vincent had the privilege of working in various roles, from veterinary assistant to licensed technician. After earning his bachelors degree from the University of Nevada Reno, he went on to earn his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 2017. His diverse background allows him to provide comprehensive, compassionate care to animals while also fostering strong relationships with their owners.

In his free time, he enjoys spending quality time with his wife Stacy and their three dogs Cooper, Benny, and Griffen. They love exploring the outdoors through camping, hiking, and traveling, however simply relaxing at home on the couch is never a bad day.
