Meet Dr. Keith Joyner




Dr. Keith Joyner has been involved in veterinary medicine since he was in high school, starting as a kennel attendant, and worked his way up until he became a veterinarian in 1969. 

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dr. Joyner obtained his DVM at Colorado State University and practiced originally in Oregon before relocating to Arizona.  

With the lack of specialization present in the 70’s, he learned to perform a wide variety of surgeries needed to care for his patients. 


After running his own general practice for some time, he joined 1st Pet Veterinary Centers in 1995 and has been here since!  

He now enjoys the availability and assistance of a variety of specialists we have here including a surgeon, internal medicine specialist, and a criticalist.  


He is married to Michel Ann and together they have 2 daughters and 3 sons.  He enjoys photography, art, reading, movies, and a variety of outdoor activities.  

While always having great love for his furry patients, Dr. Joyner admits to developing attachments to the ‘parents’ as well. 

Seeing the owner’s happy face at a successful outcome, or being a supportive friend during the tougher times, Dr. Joyner is committed to providing dignity and comfort to all.
