Dr. Holly Merker, DVM

Dr. Holly Merker’s passion for veterinary medicine began at age 16, when she started volunteering at a local practice in her hometown of San Diego. She pursued this interest with dedication, earning a B.S. in Biology from UCLA before graduating with honors from the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

She later brought her experience and compassion to Tucson, Arizona in 2012. In 2022, she and her husband, Dr. Walter Merker,  became co-owners of Orange Grove Animal Hospital.

Outside of work, Dr. Merker enjoys staying active, watching her sons play soccer, and traveling—her favorite adventure to date has been Costa Rica.
