Daniela Gestine grew up in Mission Viejo and worked as a receptionist for Olympiad Animal Hospital over 20 years ago! Since then, Dr. Gestine graduated Summa Cum Laude from Cal Poly Pomona with a Bachelors in Animal Science and left to earn her Veterinary degree (DVM) from UC Davis. In 2009 she moved back down to Southern California to practice medicine full time and in 2015 was honored to return to Olympiad and join the doctor staff.

Daniela’s professional interests include Internal Medicine, Geriatric Care, Preventative Medicine, and Feline medicine. She is fluent in Spanish and is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the California Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Association of Feline Practitioners. Daniela lives in Irvine with her husband Jon, their son Gabriel, their dogs, Hermione and Violet, and their crazy cat, Belle. In her free time, Daniela enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading, and going to beaches and theme parks.

Building long-term relationships with clients and their pets is Daniela’s greatest professional joy. She is excited to be back at Olympiad Animal Hospital and looks forward to meeting you and your furry family members soon!
