Meet The Doctors

Dr. Tracy Wood

Owner and Medical Director
A 1994 WSU veterinary graduate, Dr. Wood started her career as a mixed animal (cat, dog, horses, cattle) vet in north Idaho 1994-1998.
Her broad range of experience in both large and small animal medicine has given her a definite edge and well roundedness in her diagnostic and surgical skills. She has been called by her piers a "lifer" and "the Sally Fields" of veterinary medicine because of her natural likeability and a true love for what she does. Dr. Wood purchased the Animal Hospital of Renton from Dr. Steve Swaim in November 2000, and has steadily progressed the medical protocols of AHCC into what is now the most up to date, modern, common sense approach to veterinary medicine available. In her off time she enjoys traveling, outdoor activities, cooking, and reading.
