Since he was ten years old, Dr. Craig McInnis knew he wanted to be a veterinarian. He attended Texas A&M University on an Air Force scholarship, graduating in 1976.  To fulfill his military obligation, he spent the next three years in the Air Force practicing small animal medicine in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and Hahn AFB in Germany. 

After military service, he returned to his hometown of Houston, practicing small animal medicine there for two years. He returned to Germany and joined a small animal practice in the small village of Birkenfeld. In 1984, he came back to the US and began focusing on emergency medicine. During that time, he served as a consultant for Cardiopet and Dr. Larry Tilley’s VetMedFax.

Dr. McInnis currently owns and operates Echo Services for Pets, a mobile ultrasound service for dogs and cats in northern New Mexico. In addition to seeing patients at local veterinary hospitals, Dr. McInnis and his wife Karen travel across the US teaching ultrasound courses to veterinarians. He has also created a series of instructional DVD’s to share the knowledge he’s gained in over twenty years of ultrasound experience.

Dr. McInnis and Karen currently have two pets, both found abandoned along their trips in New Mexico and California. Inde, born in 2002, is a yorkiepoo who often joins them on their trips as their business manager. Like most cats, their 7-year old cat, Diesel, is happy staying at home and playing in front of their fireplace.

Dr. Nuria Clodius has loved animals for as long as she can remember, but her childhood dogs, Peanut and Smokey, were the eventual inspirations for pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. They taught her that there is nothing quite like the human-animal bond to enrich our lives. Peanut taught her the value of patience and enjoying each day, while Smokey taught her the pleasure of working as a team during 4-H classes and competitions.

After graduating from Los Alamos High School, Dr. Nuria studied at Mount Holyoke College where she pursued a B. A. in environmental studies. During her studies, she worked with endangered seabird populations through the National Audubon Society's Project Puffin. She further pursued her interest in marine ecology at the Williams­ Mystic Marine Science Center researching invasive sea anemones and how they survive in their ever-changing environments. Following these experiences, she chose to apply what she had learned to the promote the impact individual animals have on human lives through a career in veterinary medicine. She attended veterinary school at Washington State University where she worked with bighorn sheep, face flies, and a variety of exotic animal species (small mammals, reptiles and birds).

Dr. Nuria Joined the Animal Clinic of Los Alamos in June of 2018. Her Interests are ever adapting and expanding but currently Include behavioral medicine, neurology, and surgery.

Her parent's cats, Aria and Cricket, are constant sources of amusement for both the dogs and the human family members. Their hobbies include eating all available plants around the house and knocking papers off of desks under the guise of face rubs.

Dr. Nuria's hobbies include hiking, running, swimming, horseback riding, epee fencing, and birding. She also enjoys the occasional mushroom Identification hunt around Pajarito Mountain.
