Our Team

Hi Foothills Family! I am Dr. Cortinas and I am very excited to be the newest member of this amazing community!

I was born and raised right here in Sun City. Becoming a veterinarian was a lifelong childhood dream. When I graduated from Vet School, I moved to the Phoenix area and practiced small animal medicine in the private practice and corporate settings for about 12 years before coming back home. My passion is preventative care and education because there is a great deal of value in prevention and intervening early for the best outcome and best quality of life of our 4 legged family members.

I am very excited about the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies!

Bio coming soon!

Hi, my name is Shjan, and I am a veterinary technician here at Foothills Animal Clinic since late February. I am originally from Corpus Christi and earned my Bachelor’s in Animal Science at Stephen F. Austin State University with a minor in Biology and plan on pursuing my CVA in the future. I have always had a passion for animals since I was young despite living in the suburbs. I dabbled in zookeeping before moving to El Paso and turning to the veterinary field. I have a 3-year-old rescue staffie-mix named Saffron, who I adore. In my free time, I enjoy reading and training my dog. I am thankful to be a part of such an amazing team here at Foothills and I am excited to meet your pets!
