    Dr. Ortiz grew up in a military family.  After extraneous travels overseas and other parts of the U.S., she landed in Tucson, AZ where she has lived since 1992.  She received her DVM from Oregon State University and Washington State University in 1992.  She has been with Tucson Small Animal Hospital and Golf Links Animal Clinic since her graduation.  She has been a board member for the Southern Arizona Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) since 1996.  She has known she would be veterinarian since the age of 10 and enjoys all aspects of this profession.

  • Terese H.
    Practice Manager

    Born and raised in Tucson, Terese is one of the seemingly few Tucson natives. Terese started working at Tucson Small Animal Hospital in January 1999. With a strong concern for protecting health and the environment, Terese earned several degrees in environmental science, policy, and management, as well as environmental health and safety. She has also taken several courses in business and supervisory management. She has earned multiple awards for her scientific research. Her passion for animals and veterinary medicine brought her back to utilize her skills and knowledge in the veterinary field. She became Office Manager at Golf Links Animal Clinic May 2016 and Practice Manager for both of our clinics April 2017. She now continues as Practice Manager for the Golf Links Animal Clinic location since the merger of our Tucson Small Animal Hospital location to the Golf Links Animal Clinic location. She enjoys spending time with her family (furry family members included, of course!), nature, wildlife, reading, and learning about a lot of different topics.

Testimonials

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "I was having so many problems with my little poodle dog. She was vomiting all the time and having loose stools. I changed her food multiple times, but nothing worked. I took her to Dr. Ortiz and it took her no time to figure out that she had a sensitive digestion problem. She put her on a special diet and I have had no problems since, thanks to Dr. Ortiz! I highly recommend her for your pet."
