After serving in the army as a medic, Dr. Scot Diskin acquired his undergraduate education in Illinois, and graduated from the University of Illinois’ College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. After graduation, he moved to Arizona to accept a position at Northern Animal Hospital. Following four years at Northern A.H. as the Medical Director, Dr. Diskin took a position at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, where he treated and helped homeless animals find new homes and aided in the prosecution of animal cruelty. Continuing in the tone of Shelter Medicine, Dr. Diskin worked for the Arizona Humane Society’s Public Clinics and assisted in their Second Chance Hospital.
During his career, Dr. Diskin has performed more than 70,000 sterilization surgeries. He has joined forces with numerous non-profit animal organizations all over Arizona to provide low-cost spays and neuters to underserved areas and communities. In order to help decrease pet overpopulation in the valley, Dr. Diskin decided to open a clinic in the north valley with a focus on sterilizations and immunizations at modest prices.
In addition to helping cats and dogs, Dr. Diskin has volunteered with several wildlife groups and has been a long-time patron of the Phoenix Zoo. He has sponsored Humane Societies and Governmental Animal Care Organizations throughout Arizona. All of the animals in his home (4 dogs, 1 blind cat, 4 goats, and a snake) have been rescued [citation].
