Holistic integrative approach
Inspired by the synergy of integrating conventional and complementary medicine, Dr. Randy Aronson and his wife, Dr. Geren Thurston, set out to create a new paradigm of care for companion animals of southern Arizona. PAWS Integrative Veterinary Center is his passion and shared vision for the future of veterinary medicine.
Dr. Aronson grew up in Philadelphia, dreaming of becoming an equine veterinarian or an NBA star. He received his undergraduate degree from George Washington University. He went on to pursue his Veterinary Medical Degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated in 1980, receiving the Leonard Pearson award, the highest honor of student achievement. He completed a combined small animal Internship in 1981.
When Dr. Aronson is not caring for animals and educating clients at PAWS, he is busy providing seminars, Skype conferences, keynote speaking, consulting for pet health product companies, providing consultations with pet owners through Google Hangouts, and hosting a call-in talk radio show, Radio Pet Vet with Dr. Randy, for over 10 years. He enjoys educating pet owners through both public speaking and column writing. He is a member of the National Speakers’ Association; he has published numerous articles in both national and local periodicals. To ensure quality and accountability for the safety and benefit of his patients, he directed and co-formulated 2Docs, a comprehensive line of vitamins and dietary supplements.
Although he loves biking, hiking, fishing, gardening, and reading, most of his free time is spent goofing around with his son, Benjamin, and daughter, Livia.
