Dr. Jace King

Dr. Jace King was born and raised in South Central Utah in the small town of Monroe. He grew up on and spent most of his time working at the family livestock auction and cattle ranch.

Following high school, he attended Southern Utah University, majoring in biology with a zoology emphasis. He was then accepted into the Veterinary Medicine Program at Colorado State University, where he graduated in May 2006. Upon graduation, he moved to the St. George area to begin his career as a veterinarian.

Dr. Clayton Barton

Veterinarian

Dr. Clayton Barton grew up in a rural town in Southern Utah. Growing up in Orderville, Utah gave Dr. Barton the opportunity to have and be around many animals. He acquired a love for animals at a young age. That’s when he decided he wanted to be a veterinarian. After high school, Dr. Barton attended Southern Utah University, majoring in zoology with a minor in chemistry.

In 1998, he was accepted into the Veterinary Training Program at Mississippi State University, College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2002. Following graduation, he was an associate veterinarian at a small animal clinic in Boulder City, Nevada.

Dr. Barton and his family moved to Lehi, Utah in 2003, where he worked at a renowned Equine Clinic in South Jordan, Utah.

Working at these two clinics has given him the knowledge and skills that he uses in his practice of medicine today. Dr. Barton and his wife are from Southern Utah, and they felt a need to be closer to family. They are glad to be back in Southern Utah. Dr. Barton and his wife, Calie, are the proud parents of four children. He is excited to partner with Dr. Jace King.
