Dan Sargent, DVM, Owner
Dr. Dan Sargent graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. He also spent 8 years working as a law enforcement officer. During this time, he was a member of the SWAT team and was a Field Training Officer(FTO). He also learned an extensive amount about community and the importance of having close relationships with the community. In 2009, Dr. Sargent returned to Metro State and completed 1.5 years of pre-requisites for veterinary school. He obtained his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in May 2015. Dr. Sargent has interests in surgery, dentistry, endoscopy and laparoscopy. He also enjoys working with exotic animals including small mammals, birds, and reptiles.
Dr. Sargent moved to the Mount Vernon area in July 2017 after purchasing Highland Veterinary Hospital. Approximately a year later, he purchased Mountain View Veterinary Clinic. The two clinics were subsequently combined and the Mountain View Veterinary Clinic name was chosen due to our view of Mount Baker and Dr. Sargent's passion for the outdoors.
Dr. Sargent moved to the Skagit Valley with his wife Cece and their 3 adult children. He currently has 2 beautiful granddaughters. The family currently has a French Bulldog, a Shih Tzu, 3 cats, a Shepherd mix, 2 border collies, and 2 Anatolian Shepherds. Along with this they have 3 horses, 20 cows, 4 goats, 4 sheep and a flock of chickens.
​
Dr. Sargent spends most of his time on his ranch east of Sedro Wooley working and spending time with his family. In his "free-time" he is an avid rock climber. He loves climbing the Colorado 14ers and to date has climbed 10 of the 53, with the goal of climbing all 53. Now that he is living in Washington he and his wife have summited Mount Baker and plan on summiting Mount Rainier. Dr. Sargent also enjoys horse back riding, hunting, hiking, camping, kayaking and pretty much anything outdoors with his family.
Annie Kivi, DVM, Associate
Dr. Annie Kivi graduated from Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2021. Over the years, she’s had the chance to work with a little bit of everything—from alpacas to horses and everything in between—but she found her true passion in caring for the smaller pets we share our homes (and often our beds) with.
She has special interests in surgery, urgent care, and providing thoughtful, compassionate care for pets throughout all stages of life; from playful puppies and kittens to beloved seniors.For her, the real magic is in connecting with the people who love those pets. She believes in building strong relationships with clients, meeting them where they are, and working together to support their pets’ health and happiness. “Animal people are my people,” she says—and she means it.
At home, Dr. Annie and her husband (also a veterinarian) are happily outnumbered by animals. She shares her life with two dogs (a Golden Retriever and an Australian Shepherd), three cats, a ball python, one beloved horse, and a jungle's worth of houseplants. Outside the clinic, Dr. Annie is happiest outdoors—hiking, gardening, fishing, or spending time in the saddle. She competes in three-day eventing and always welcomes the chance for a relaxing trail ride.
