Dr. Carl Prior

DVM

Growing up in a rural farming community, Carl Burton Prior fell in love with animals and feels a strong connection to each creature. After completing his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University, he earned his DVM at Colorado State University’s renowned veterinary teaching hospital.

Moving to Park City in 2003, Dr. Prior’s practice is based on three principles: a proactive approach to wellness care; stellar diagnostic and surgical services; and compassion. Sometimes, his loyal staff struggles to keep up with his high energy. However, inspired by his quick wit, willingness to teach, and vision, they do.

At the Park City Animal Clinic, clients are welcomed into a homey environment by his handpicked staff of doctors and technicians. Dr. Prior’s patients are his priority, but he makes sure his human clients are comfortable, too; he actually gives his private cell phone number to clients. Dr. Prior makes house calls; responds to calls in the middle of the night; and even takes animals home with him to recover.

His big heart supports local rescues. From Edwardo, the one-eyed tripod cat to Princess, the Bernese Mountain Dog with a tumor the size of a grapefruit, Dr. Prior saves those that do not have a voice and those that are discarded by others.

Being part of the Park City community and always looking out for the underdog, Dr. Prior’s clients appreciate his expertise, tenderness, and commitment.

She has worked in primary practice and emergency medicine, most enjoying the medicine cases, and client connections offered Dr. Johnston believes being a veterinarian is a blessing, and truly feels joy and gratitude serving the communities in which she practices. Her career so far has had her in the mountains of Colorado, hot as heck San Antonio, Texas, Virginia on the east coast, and last but not least, the Central and Northern Coast of California, eventually coming to Utah from Culver City, California. She has worked with marine mammals, exotics, dogs, and cats. She has a 7-year-old Monterey Terrier who smiles, Poppy, and a spicey yet snuggly orange tabby cat, Julep.
