Born and raised in Wheeling, WV, being a veterinarian was Dr. Radcliffe’s dream since the age of twelve.  He graduated from Triadelphia High School, West Virginia University (B.S. in Animal Science), and Purdue University’s School of Veterinary Medicine (1979).  After working for another local veterinarian for a little over a year, Dr. Radcliffe decided to open his own veterinary clinic in 1981.  There he administered veterinary care as a solo practitioner for both large and small animals and provided emergency care 24/7.
