About Park Plaza Animal Clinic
A Family Practice Caring for Arlington Pets Since 1972
Who We Are
Park Plaza Animal Clinic is proud to serve the Arlington TX area for everything pet related. Our veterinary clinic and animal hospital is run by Dr. D’Anne Stephens, who is a licensed, experienced Arlington veterinarian.
Our team is committed to educating our clients in how to keep your pets healthy year round, with good nutrition and exercise. Park Plaza Animal Clinic stays on top of the latest advances in veterinary technology and above all, remembers that all animals and pets need to be treated with loving care in every check-up, procedure, or surgery.
Our Story
Park Plaza Animal Clinic opened its doors in 1972, when Dr. Doyle Johnson started the practice on East Park Row. Dr. D’Anne Stephens joined him as an associate in 1993, and in 2003 she became the owner.
More than fifty years later, we are still family owned, and we have always treated our clients and their pets as family. Many of the people we see today are the children and grandchildren of clients who started with us when we opened in the 1970s.
That family thread runs through our staff too. Our Practice Manager, Nikki, grew up in this building. Her dad built the practice, and she worked here through high school and college summers before returning in 2024 after 24 years as a second-grade teacher.
Our Mission
To give every Arlington pet the thorough, honest care we would want for our own, and to give every owner the time, information and straight answers they need to make good decisions.
We take the time to educate our clients and answer every question. When you leave, you should know what we found, what we recommend and why.
