About Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital
Dr. Glynes D. Graham, owner and primary veterinarian of Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital, received her DVM degree from Michigan State University in 1983. A life-long Detroit resident, Dr. Graham was only 15 years old when she first became associated with Patterson Hospital through a part-time job filing records and cleaning cages. Dr. Graham is a member of the board of direction of the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association, as well as a member of the American and Southeastern Michigan Veterinary Medical Associations.
Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital was established at 71 West Columbia in 1844 by Dr. James W. Patterson, the only practicing veterinarian in Detroit at that time. In 1901, his son, Elijah E. Patterson, graduated from the Grand Rapids Veterinary Medical College and moved the practice to 591 Grand River Avenue. He purchased property in 1909 at our current location, and built a house and a two-story brick hospital. The downstairs had room for 25 horses; the upstairs could house 50 dogs. Dr. Elijah’s son, James E. Patterson, joined the practice in 1926, and remodeled the building – the basic layout of the hospital remains unchanged. In 1966 the hospital was purchased by Dr. Eugene G. Miller, who practiced there until retiring in 1985. Continuing its history, Dr. Glynes Graham has nurtured the practice ever since.
