Brent Post, DVM
The proud new owner of High Desert Veterinary!
Some things are simply meant to be, and that’s exactly how Dr. Brent Post felt when he first met Dr. Tony Oddo and the team at High Desert Veterinary. After years of working as a managing DVM, Brent was ready to put down roots in a clinic of his own. At the same time, Tony was looking to pass the torch to someone who shared his vision and passion for veterinary care. The timing couldn’t have been better for either of them.
As the new owner and Medical Director of High Desert Veterinary, Brent is committed to upholding and building on the legacy that Tony established. Brent brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the clinic, backed by his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Carleton College in Minnesota and his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of California, Davis, where he graduated in 2010. With 14 years of hands-on experience, Brent combines his love for animals with his dedication to providing the highest standard of care.
Dr. Post is a strong advocate for clear and empowering communication with clients. He takes a thoughtful approach to veterinary leadership, ensuring that pet owners fully understand their options so they can make the best choices for their pets and families. It’s this warm, compassionate approach that continues to make High Desert Veterinary a special place for both pets and their owners.
