MEET THE DOCTORS & STAFF

FAH is a family-owned hospital. Dr. Jeri Dioguardi and Dr. Don Gehringer both grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Dioguardi graduated from the University of Arizona in Tucson and Dr. Gehringer graduated from Creighton University. They met at graduate school in chemistry at Arizona State University. Their mutual love of animals inspired application and then admission to veterinary school at Kansas State University. Dr. Gehringer graduated in 1987 and Dr. Dioguardi graduated in 1989. They both have practiced in Yuma since then. Dr. Dioguardi opened FAH in the Yuma East shopping center in 1991 after working for two years at Chapparal Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Gehringer practiced at Gila Veterinary Clinic for 10 years. They started working together at FAH in 1997 and built the new, state-of-the-art facility in 1998. Their daughter, Dorothy Jean, was born in 1996. If they ever get any free time, they like to  spend it golfing.

  Hi, I am Dr. Laurie Harms.

I graduated from Cornell veterinary

school in New York.  I have 2 children,

one is an engineer in New York and the

youngest is a senior in college in

Georgia. I live in El Centro California

where my husband is general manager

of ORMAT. I enjoy gardening and

Hello, I am Sandra. I moved to Yuma with my husband, Steve in 2005. I was a veterinary receptionist

in Salem, Oregon for 7 years. Prior to that I trained gun dogs and obedience training in Idaho for

many years. I look forward to meeting all of you!

Licensed in California in 1979 as a Registered Animal Health Technician, and in Arizona in 1983 as a Certified Veterinary Technician, it has been my privilege to work for Dr.  Dioguardi and Foothills Animal Hospital since the clinic was established. In my career as a licensed veterinary technician, I have worked at 2 other veterinary clinics, one in San Diego specializing in our feline friends, the other a mixed (large and small animals) here in Yuma. My hobby and my passion are my horses and my pets. I look forward to seeing you at the clinic.
