Why Sunstone

We are privately owned and operated.
We think you’ll like that about us.

Our Why

Joshua Elliott, a veterinary internal medicine specialist, and Marie Xavier, a seasoned hospital administrator, launched Sunstone in 2015 to fill an unmet need in the City of Portland: to provide exemplary veterinary specialty care for cats and dogs, distinguished by exceptional personal care and attention.

Why? Because discerning pet parents and referring veterinarians have high standards for care and communication. Our patients and their families deserve nothing less.

By every measure that matters, Sunstone has succeeded:

  • We’ve carefully recruited like-minded specialists and team members who embrace the core values that define our practice—excellence, productivity, teamwork, respect, and communication.
  • We’re a trusted resource for an ever-growing number of pet parents and primary care veterinarians who value what we do—and how we do it.
  • In an era of corporate consolidation, we remain privately owned—freeing us to set our own priorities, which are squarely focused on delivering exceptional personal care and attention, not enriching shareholders.
