Dr. Espitia is a native of Northern California and has resided in the area since birth. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor’s degree in Molecular & Cellular Biology in 2008 and went on to complete his doctorate of veterinary medicine at UC Davis in 2015. He then completed a rotating small animal internship at VCA San Francisco Veterinary Specialists in 2016.

He is excited to be working as a full time emergency clinician at VCA Bay Area Veterinary Specialists. He has always enjoyed working with his hands and views emergency medicine as an excellent field to do so, as well as help our animal companions when they need help the most.

In his spare time, Dr. Espitia enjoys weightlifting, exercising, and collecting bow ties. His favorite time however, is couch potato time with his 9 year old border collie Elyse and 1 year old lionhead rabbit Gunter.
