Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Alan Mafara came from Zimbabwe in 2003 after having graduated in 1993 from the University of Zimbabwe. He came to AZ to be with his wife, Sharon, who he met in an exchange program between the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine and University of Zimbabwes veterinary school. Since he has been in AZ he has become passionate about preventive care, orthopedic surgery and veterinary dentistry in primarily dogs and cats. He spends time with his mentors at Arizona Veterinary Dental Specialists in order to improve his dentistry skills.Sharon and Alan share their home with their son, daughter, and a boxer mix called Girlfriend. After hours activities are usually centered on the kids who like chasing hot air balloons and attending swimming lessons. Catching a Cardinals, Diamondbacks, or Suns game is always a treat (have to learn how hockey works). A round of golf is a welcome bonus."
