For the past 4 years, he also remains an adjunct clinical faculty member at Midwestern College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM). In August 2016, Dr. Paige opened Valley Veterinary Cardiology to offer the Valley’s first cardiology-specific practice dedicated to patient, client, and primary care veterinarian support.

In 2018, he also opened AZVETIDEAS, which is a veterinary medical device consulting company.
After being a dedicated client of world-renowned human and veterinary ambulatory monitoring service, the opportunity had recently become available for Dr. Paige to maintain this high-quality service specifically dedicated to veterinary patients.
