A Legacy of Leadership, A Future of Impact
After an incredible career dedicated to helping pets and mentoring veterinary teams at Pet Wellness Clinics, Dr. Michael Graves has stepped away from his role as Chief Veterinary Officer of our Indianapolis region. He remains a valued member of Doppler’s board, where his experience and leadership will make a lasting impact.
Dr. Graves has been a driving force in veterinary medicine since 1982, not just as a veterinarian but as a leader, mentor, and advocate for high-quality pet care. Over his career, he’s owned and operated more than 20 small animal practices, including Pet Wellness Clinics, and has helped manage and consult with over 50 hospitals nationwide. His expertise, guidance, and passion have made a lasting impact on so many pets, clients, and fellow veterinary professionals. A proud Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine graduate (Class of 1982), Dr. Graves has always been deeply involved in the veterinary community.
With his wealth of experience, strategic vision, and deep commitment to veterinary excellence, he continues to help guide our organization. As a Board member, he plays a key role in shaping policies, mentoring the next generation of veterinary professionals, and ensuring our hospitals uphold the highest standards of care. We are grateful for his ongoing dedication and look forward to the lasting impact he will continue to make in this next chapter.
