Who We Are
While we are fairly new to Calera, AL "The MAC" has been around for over 15 years. Dr. Parker originally purchased Montevallo Animal Clinic in June of 2009, located in Montevallo, AL. While we loved our location in Montevallo, Dr. Parker realized that our area needed not only a larger facility, but one that could be equipped with state of the art equipment. We moved into our Calera, AL location in June of 2020!
