Dr. David L. Pendray received his D.V.M degree from the University of California at Davis in 1981. He spent one year in an advanced degree program in comparative medicine, focusing on heart, lung, and liver surgery. He began practicing full-time in 1982. After ten years, he left for a time to become assistant director of research at a private facility that specialized in implanting artificial heart valves and various medical devices designed for use in human medicine. He implanted more than 150 heart valves in dogs and sheep during this time. He moved to Cody in 1994, and his special interests include surgery, cardiology, liver disease, and cranial cruciate ligament reconstruction.
