From the Beginning

From the Beginning

Once you walk through our doors, we will treat you like welcomed family. Because to us, you are. And that is reflected in every single thing we do. From longer appointment times, to more time spent with your doctor, to the way we care for your pet... we do things differently here. We believe you and your pet are true individuals. We take the time to understand your pet's unique factors - biology, behavior, environment, and lifestyle. Once we get to know you, and look deeply into your pet's health, we can help you chart the best possible course to keep your pet, happy, healthy, and by your side.

Our Team

Dr. Adrienne Wood, DVM

Dr. Adrienne Wood, DVM

Dr. Adrienne Wood graduated from UC Davis in 2007. (Dr. Palermo and Dr. Wood were classmates 😉 Dr. Wood did an internship at an equine surgical and medical center in New Jersey and then spent her first 2 years working on horses and alpacas.  After that, she decided to make the change to Small animal medicine. She started Small animal general practice in 2009 at Banfield Pet hospital in New Jersey, where she met her current husband Marc. She moved back to California in 2013 and opened a new location for Banfield in Santa Rosa. She was a Chief of Staff and then Area chief of Staff with that company for many years. This year she made the transition to private practice with Dr. Peter Dowell. They decided to embark on a new adventure together by buying Sonoma Valley Pet Clinic.

Dr. Wood lives locally in Sonoma with her husband Marc and 6-year-old son Antonio. She looks forward to growing the practice along with Dr. Dowell. Together they are hoping to expand Sonoma Valley Pet clinic into a 3 doctor practice and potentially open a rehabilitation clinic for dogs. We look forward to serving the community and continuing Dr. Palermo’s legacy.

Dr. Peter Dowell was born in New York City to British parents.  After living in England for 7 years, his family relocated to California.

Early interests always were focused on animals and natural history. Following degrees in forestry, a biology degree, and some graduate work in parasitology at the University of California,  he attended the University of Minnesota Veterinary College for the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine qualification.

Externships in surgery and exotic animal medicine were completed in New York City and A Matching Program internship in small animal medicine and surgery was completed a year later at a large referral hospital. He is the past owner of the Covington Creek Veterinary Hospital in Mendocino County and the Helix Pet Hospital in San Diego County. He currently owns the Alto Tiburon Veterinary Hospital in Marin County. He and his wife Julie are very excited to continue Dr. Palermo’s practice of old-fashioned compassion and cutting-edge knowledge.
