I have recently rejoined All Creatures Animal Hospital. I have 29 years experience in veterinary medicine. I enjoy this field because I love making a difference in the lives of the critters we care for. I am a member of the California Veterinary Medical Association and the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America. I live with my two Pembroke Corgis who run my house. I enjoy showing our clients how to keep their pets teeth healthy with daily home dental care.

Hi I'm Andi,
I currently reside in the Coachella valley with my son Alex, 7, and his pet a desert tortoise named "Beans" 2. I have been working for All Creatures for over seven year. I started by greeting you and your pet(s) at the door as a receptionist now I work with them one on one with special care and handling as a technician.

School: Associates Degree in Veterinary Technology, 2007

My name is Oscar and I have lived in the Coachella Valley most of my life. I graduated from Coachella Valley High School in 2004. I went to Long Technical College in Phoenix Arizona to study and become a Veterinary Technician. While in school I worked for Dr. Hirsch in Phoenix for a year and a half. I missed my family and decided to move back to the Coachella Valley with my three year old son and two cats (Fiona and Phelix). I have added two dogs to our family, a male mastiff mix (Ruphus) and a female pomeranian (zhu zhu). I have been here at VCA All Creatures for the past three years. The staff and clients have enriched my professional and personal experiences.

Our Team

Specialty Care

Sometimes sick or injured pets need the care of a veterinary medical specialist. When that happens, VCA specialty hospitals work closely with the general practitioner veterinarians who refer cases to us in order to provide seamless veterinary care to your pet. When your pet is facing any kind of serious illness or injury, our specialty referral hospitals will provide the compassionate and expert care your beloved pet needs.

Our goal is to make sure that when you and your pet are in need that you have access to board certified specialists who are up to date on the very latest developments in their field. In our state of the art hospitals, our specialists also have access to the most sophisticated diagnostic and treatment tools and techniques from ultrasonography and endoscopy to CAT scans and even MRI.

We have over 40 specialty hospitals across the US so there may be one near you. Our specialized services include: behavior, cardiology, critical care, dentistry, dermatology, integrative medicine, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, radiology, rehabilitation, reproduction, and surgery.
