From the farm, Dr. Amen went to, and somewhat prospered at, the Colorado State University where is earned a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating from Veterinary School Dr. Amen was blessed to have quite an adventurous career in veterinary medicine.

services to the rural areas of southcentral Idaho.

Dr. Amen’s vocation and avocation is veterinary medicine and animals. Which includes his own accumulation of horses, cows, chickens, a Bernese Mountain Dog (Moose), a feline graduate of MH (Yellow Cat) a feline foundling from Gooding (Ralph), a wife, two grown children, a daughter in-law and two really good looking grandsons.
