Dr. Carl Prior
DVM
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.

Dr. Graham Johnson
Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Graham Johnson grew up in Brooklyn, NY. His first experience with veterinarians was when the family cat (Romano) inexplicably ate a whole box of sewing needles that needed to be surgically removed. Romano survived and the hook was set. During his undergraduate degree (Zoology) at McGill University in Montreal, he discovered climbing and skiing which have continued to shape his life ever since. After dropping out of a MSc. (also Zoology) at the University of Otago (Dunedin, NZ) he was accepted to vet school at Massey University (Palmerston North, NZ). After graduating he practiced rural mixed animal medicine on both the north and the south islands of NZ for 5 years before returning to the US. Two more years of mixed practice in Colorado led him to Utah where he has been working as a primarily small animal veterinarian since 2019.
Outside of work, Graham enjoys climbing, skiing, and trail running.
Dr. Jennifer Nazzaro

Dr. Jennifer Nazzaro grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. She completed her pre-veterinary work and received her undergraduate degree in Fine Art at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

She also worked as a veterinary technician during her summers while in school. Dr. Nazzaro completed her veterinary degree at Louisiana State University in 2008 where she rescued an adorable English bulldog and was involved with the Hurricane Katrina animal relief program. Dr. Nazzaro worked for 5 years at a West Jordan, 24-hour, animal hospital before joining Park City Animal Clinic in 2013. She currently works at both Park City Animal Clinic and Millcreek Veterinary Clinic. Her interests include ultrasonography, internal medicine, brachycephalic conditions, and dermatology.
