Dr. Wittwer was born and raised in St. George, Utah. After high school, he spent two years in Mexico on an LDS mission. He attended Dixie State College, then moved to colder weather at Utah State University, and completed veterinary school at Washington State University. After graduating in 2007, Dr. Wittwer started his career in Las Vegas, but family ties and a desire to return to Southern Utah brought him to Hurricane. He met his wife, Andrea, at a dog flyball competition, and they have four kids who love to visit their dad at work. The Wittwers have their own zoo with two dogs, three cats, goats, turkeys, a goose, chickens, a teacup pig, and mini horses.
Dr. Wittwer loves being a veterinarian. His main focuses are internal medicine and soft tissue surgery. Dr. Wittwer also does acupuncture and ultrasound. He enjoys the challenge of understanding why pets get ill and helping them get better.
