Dr. Glynes Graham
Dr. Glynes D. Graham, previous owner of Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital, received her DVM degree from Michigan State University in 1983. A lifelong Detroit resident, Dr. Graham was only 15 years old when she first became associated with Patterson Hospital through a part-time job filing records and cleaning cages. Pursuing a lifelong dream that began after earning her animal first-aid badge in the Girl Scouts, Dr. Graham learned the business from the ground up, receiving hands-on training from the staff in all aspects of veterinary work, from doing lab work, to preparing animals for surgery, to administering injections. After completing her education, she realized her dream when she purchased the hospital in 1985.
Dr. Graham sold the practice to Dr. Amanda Lee in 2022 and is enjoying a well-deserved retirement!
