Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Phil Thoreson has been practicing veterinary medicine for over 10 years. He attended South Dakota State University where he graduated with honors with a major in Animal Science. The state of South Dakota offers tuition assistance to the top 6 South Dakota students accepted into Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Dr. Thoreson had the honor of being among those six. After graduating with his DVM in May of 2006, Dr. Thoreson returned to South Dakota where he practiced at a mixed animal clinic serving not only cats and dogs, but horses, cattle, pigs, sheep and goats for four years. Dr. Thoreson loves the low cost veterinary model and truly enjoys helping people and their pets get the care they deserve. ValueCare Veterinary Clinic opened its doors in May 2013 and is based on rendering high quality, basic medical care at a price that more people can afford. He currently lives in Shakopee with his wife and business partner Sarah, his sons Henry and Pierce, and their four cats: Sherry (pictured here!), Fritz, Tom, and Kenneth. Three of their kitties were adopted from our Adoption Center!
