Dr. Gregg Takashima founded the Parkway Veterinary Hospital in 1986, on the belief that human health and animal health are synergistically intertwined.

He is a long time advocate for the human-animal connection, and feels it is his role as a veterinarian to further this bond by practicing excellence in pet-health care.
He is a past president of the Portland Veterinary Medical Association, the Portland Community College Advisory Board, the Dove Lewis Emergency and Critical Care Veterinary Board, and recent chair of the Delta Society.
Currently, he is the USA delegate to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association and is the President-elect to the American Animal Hospital Association.

When Gregg isn't at the hospital, he is an avid fly fisherman and enjoys traveling, adventuresome wining and dining, gardening and the arts with his wife Laura. His dogs participate whenever possible.
