The Pet Clinic is Dr. Ernesto Sandigo’s passion to bring excellent health care for the lifespan of your pets in the Greater Yuma area!
Dr. Ernesto J. Sandigo, D.V.M.
As a 1995 graduate of Colorado State University with a degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, he has been practicing veterinary medicine for 28 years. He continues to strive to learn and improve to bring the highest standard of care for the pets in our community. In his free time he enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, and working on the ranch with his horses.
Originally from the mountains of Virginia, Dr Bahrs received her Bachelors Degree in 2020 from Virginia Tech, where she majored in Animal and Poultry Sciences. Before
venturing to veterinary school, Dr Bahrs gained valuable experience as a kennel attendant/assistant in a small animal general practice clinic and as a farm technician on a beef cow-calf farm. These opportunities are what inspired Dr Bahrs to pursue the mixed animal track at Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine, where she earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2025. Some of Dr Bahrs professional interests include preventative care to help ensure your pets stay healthy, spay/neuter procedures, and client education. And while yes, she does miss those Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the cacti and dry heat of Arizona have persuaded her to stay and join Dr Sandigo’s team so she can proudly serve you and your pets.

Dr. Danelle Jackson, D.V.M.
I am pleased to bring value to Dr. Sandigo’s high quality practice through providing relief work when needed and I love working in Somerton! My niche in Yuma is to provide local pet owners with the option of at home euthanasia. More information about this service can be found here.
