Dr. Celene Joza, originally from Southern California, and Dr. Trevor Hendricks, a Tulsa native, met while attending veterinary school in Grenada. After completing their clinical training at the University of Georgia and Oklahoma State University respectively, they reunited and have been living and practicing veterinary medicine together in Denver since graduation.

The Hendricks recently moved to the Grove area and are excited to bring their passion for veterinary care to the community. Dr. Celene Joza is certified in acupuncture and rehabilitation and is looking forward to offering these specialized services to local pets. Her professional interests include geriatric medicine and client education, and she will be expanding her skill set with ultrasound training this summer.

Dr. Trevor Hendricks has a strong interest in surgery, preventative medicine, pain management, and cardiology. He is committed to providing comprehensive care and helping pet owners make informed decisions for their furry family members.

Outside of the clinic, the Hendricks enjoy spending time with their three dogs—Dodgy, a spirited island dog from Grenada, Lapis the black lab, and Charlolais the yellow lab—as well as their toddler, with baby number two arriving in August. As a family, they love camping, hiking, relaxing on the lake, and exploring local restaurants.
