History

Established in 1978.

El Paso Animal Hospital has been taking care of your best friends for over 40 years. Our founder, Gary Oehmke, had a dream. In December of 1978, he started his own practice, naming it the El Paso Animal Hospital as a tribute to the original name of Derby, Kansas. Starting with 0 customers, Gary's dream quickly grew into a reality with great service, fair prices, and relationship building. He was eventually able to expand from less than half of a small office building to buy out the building itself (bottom left). Ten years after starting a solo practice, El Paso welcomed its second vet, Jeff Herod, straight from Kansas State University. Continuing to grow, El Paso has since added 5 additional veterinarians. In 2017, we outgrew the building where a dream was once an idea. Breaking ground in August, El Paso Animal Hospital expanded into the state-of-the-art facility it is today
