History
The Highland Animal Hospital was founded by Dr. Micheal Diesen and his wife Dolores. Dr. Diesen began practicing veterinary medicine in 1979 with Gehrig and Bristow. At that time, he split his time between Greenville and Highland. In 1981, Dr. Diesen and his wife decided that Highland needed a full time veterinarian and the Highland Veterinary Clinic opened its doors. At this time, the practice was mixed animal. The practice did very well and quickly a larger building was needed. In October 1989 their current building was opened in the empty lot next door. The practice continued to grow and change and in 2000, Dr. Diesen chose to become a small animal exclusive practice. Dr. Diesen and his wife were proud to welcome their daughter, Dr. Michelle Leckrone, to the practice in May of 2003. Tragically, Dr. Diesen passed away in October of 2008. However, his legacy is continuing and growing. Currently, the Highland Animal Hospital employs 3 full time vets and 11 staff members.
