Our Team Overview

Dedication, experience, compassion, and love are the words that describe the community of caring professionals that make up the staff at the VCA Wilshire Animal Hospital. We treat all animals—from the smallest finch or your child's first goldfish—with the same compassion and medical expertise as the largest pot-bellied pig or the giant Saint Bernard. Dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, bearded dragons, and tortoises are a few of the many species of animals our staff welcomes to the practice.

No matter how small or how large, we know your pet is precious to you, and we treat them like our own.
