Hi, my name is Nancy and I have been the supervising technician here for the past 3 years. I have had my RVT license for 10 years and have enjoyed working for this company that long as well. I know I am in the right field because I like to take my work home with me. I have about 15 pets including cats, dogs, birds, rats and many others.

After living in the Boston area for over 30 years, I got tired of the long winters and decided to move out west with my husband and our dog Gino. We camped all over the U.S. until we finally landed in Northern California. Living in such a great climate allows me to do more of what I love which includes mountain biking, camping, hiking, and snorkeling. We currently share our home with 5 rescued pets that keep us happy and laughing. I have been working as a veterinary technician for almost 4 years and I know that I have one of the best jobs in the world.

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.
