Meet the dedicated team at The Spay & Neuter Center of Southern Nevada

Dr. Taryn Griffith, DVM, is a native of Michigan and graduated from Michigan State University, College of Veterinary Medicine. Landing an internship in small animal medicine and surgery, she relocated to Lawndale, California, to further her development as a veterinarian. Following her internship, Dr. Griffith went on to study veterinary cardiology for 12 months before entering the workforce full time. Dr. Griffith practiced general medicine in Southern California for several years before making Las Vegas home in 2011.

Dr. Griffith enjoys spending time with her family, exercising and testing new recipes in the kitchen. She loves to spend time outdoors and enjoys reading. Dr. Griffith is happily raising 2 children, 3 dogs, and a cat. Needless to say, there's rarely a dull moment in their lives.

Dr. Griffith is passionate about helping the community by addressing pet overpopulation and offering an affordable option to responsible pet ownership.

Dr. Heather Groghan is an Ohio native. She graduated from The Ohio State University and moved to Las Vegas shortly thereafter to avoid the cold. She has been practicing small animal medicine for over a decade and enjoys surgery and dentistry. In her spare time, she likes to craft, take hikes with her dogs and travel.

Dr. Diana Freeman knew she wanted to be a veterinarian even as a small child. She grew up in Las Vegas and is a UNR graduate. She earned her doctorate at Colorado State University followed by an internship at the University of Illinois. She eventually settled back home in Las Vegas and was introduced to her passion: low-cost spay and neuter surgeries.

In their free time, Dr. Freeman and her family enjoy playing with their two huskies, hanging out around the pool, and singing along to music from the 90’s. Dr. Freeman is also attempting to raise plants for her desert tortoise to snack on, though greenery is not her forte. Fortunately, she excels at spay and neuter surgeries and looks forward to helping your pets.

I worked with the owner, Taryn Griffith at another clinic prior to this place and took the opportunity to work for her here right away. She is an amazing, loving person, and working for her has been an absolute delight. Knowing we are educating the public about the importance of spaying, neutering, and vaccinating their pet, is very rewarding.
