Dr. Susan Truesdell received her DVM from Washington State University in 1977.

Dr. Susan Truesdell started Aztec Animal Clinic in 1990. She has a special interest in feline medicine and practice management.

Dr. Barbara McGuire received her DVM from Colorado State University in 1984.

Dr. Barbara McGuire grew up in rural northern Colorado, surrounded by horses, lambs, chickens, and calves. At the tender age of 10, she repaired a hen's broken leg with popsicle sticks and decided that helping injured animals was her mission in life. Since then, she has developed a special interest in critical care and geriatric medicine, and is fond of saying that "old age is not a disease."

Dr. McGuire moved to New Mexico in 1989 and joined Aztec Animal Clinic in 1993. She shares her life with her husband Paul, Emma the Lab, Jade the Border Collie and two cats, Rosie and Tito. Her daughters, Brenna and Lauren, are both off to college, but home for the holidays and summers. When not at the clinic, Dr. McGuire can usually be found running in Ridgecrest or cycling in the mountains with Paul.

Dr. Carolyn Fletcher received her DVM from Tufts University in 1998.

Dr. Carolyn Fletcher, a graduate of Tufts University in Boston, is originally from the New England area. Along with her husband, Dr. Fletcher also brought her menagerie of critters, which include cats, dogs, and two ringneck doves.

Dr. Fletcher has a special interest in working with all types of exotics, which was sparked while she worked as a zookeeper at Zoo New England (formerly Franklin Park Zoo). She and her husband were drawn to the natural beauty of New Mexico and are looking forward to experiencing all of its culture, art, and wonderful weather.
