Meet Our Team
Twin Peaks Veterinary Center is focused on establishing a warm, friendly relationship with you and your pet, and offering the highest quality, veterinary healthcare. This page highlights our team’s training, experience and dedication to veterinary medicine.
Beth Neuman, DVM
Dr. Neuman founded Twin Peaks Veterinary Center to combine high quality client and patient care, state-of-the-art medical equipment and services, and a staff of committed veterinary professionals under one roof. Five years as an emergency veterinarian convinced her that it was important that Twin Peaks Veterinary Center offer not only preventative medicine for furry family members, but also evening and weekend urgent care services. With those elements in place, the full slate of veterinary services required to keep the canine and feline members of your family healthy are offered.
Dr. Neuman received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota in 2004. Her special areas of interest are emergency medicine, internal medicine, and endocrinology, with an emphasis on client-oriented services. In her long ago life, she was a writer, a customer service agent and even managed a movie theater. She then spent several years working as a veterinary technician before deciding to pursue a career as a veterinarian. She has been married for twelve years, has three children and shares her home with two dogs and a revolving door of foster animals. Her devotion to her own family and pets help keep her focused on the need to make veterinary care a family oriented service for the members of her community.
Cristan Benson, Certified Veterinary Technician
Cristan Benson, CVT, is the lead tech at Twin Peaks Veterinary Center and has been working with Dr. Neuman since before the doors opened. Her time is monopolized by her black lab, Boo, and the newest addition to her house, a Basset Hound named Clifford. Cris enjoys learning and is working towards earning a specialty technical degree. Her favorite thing about Twin Peaks Veterinary Center is the way we provide progressive, high-quality medicine for the animals of Tucson. Outside of work, you can find her reading, watching movies and throwing the ball for her dog.
