Longtime Green Valley veterinarian and community activist Randy David Aronson, VMD, is leaving Animal Care Center in Green Valley March 31 to start a new practice in Tucson.

He’s launching Partners in Animal Wellness Services (P.A.W.S.), at 300 E. River Road, focusing on integrative veterinary medicine.

“Integrative veterinary medicine is a blend of holistic and conventional approaches to diagnosis and treatment,” Aronson says. “We’ll feature treatments like rehabilitation and an underwater treadmill for animals.”

Aronson says his new practice will utilize all the methods available in both Western and holistic therapies, using all licensed veterinarians of traditional veterinary schools who have also obtained advanced training in holistic medicine.

“This provides a comprehensive integrative approach to healing,” he adds.

Aronson will also continue to host a radio show at 5 p.m. every Wednesday called Radio Pet Vet on Jolt Radio, 1330-AM,

Aronson started his veterinary practice in the Green Valley area in 1984, housed in the Continental Shopping Plaza until his business started to outgrow the facility, later opening the Animal Care Center at 555 White House Canyon Road in 1996, where it remains today.

Aronson sold the business to Daniel Paul Murray, DMV, in 2004, but remained at the clinic continuing his practice and expanding his business ventures into vitamins and nutritional supplements with Vitamin Research Products out of Carson City, Nev.

Besides his veterinary work during the past 24 years in the community, Aronson also served on the Continental School Board for 10 years and was instrumental in the launching of Casa de Esperanza back in 1988. He was also one of the founders of the Valle Verde Rotary Club and served as its first president.

Aronson also wants to spend time with his eight-month old son, Benjamin, and wife Geren Thurston, also a veterinarian in practice in Tucson.

“I’ll really miss my clients and all the staff here at the Animal Care Center, “ Aronson says. “I need to expand and do other things now, especially be closer to my family.”
