Dr. Randy Van Otten

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, this all-american boy decided to serve his country in the United States Navy. After overseas tours of duty, Dr. Van Otten chose to attend the University of the Philippines, where he earned his B.S. in Agricultural Science, followed by his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1985. His unconventional journey included positions with the US Forest Service and the USDA before he finally settled down in Los Lunas, NM with his wife and 3 sons to start his own private practice. 

Growing up in New Mexico, Dr. Eddie Chavez has always been passionate about animals and their wellbeing. 

At a young age, his quest for knowledge brought him to New Mexico State University, where he received his B.S. in Animal Science. His passion for animals continued to grow, and lead him to Kansas State University where he earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. After moving back home to Corrales, NM, he spent many years working the local racing circuits as an Equine Vet.
