Gary Jon Uyeno, DVM received his veterinary degree from Iowa State University in 1992. After graduating, Dr. Uyeno secured an internship and residency in small animal surgery at a private practice specialty hospital. During this training, Dr. Uyeno enjoyed helping teach interns, which in turn lead him to become a professor at Mt. San Antonio College in 1999 where he instructs students to become veterinary nurses (Registered Veterinary Technicians). His goal is to educate Veterinary Technicians to allow them to successfully pass their state board licensing examination and to give them the practical and technical skills needed to succeed in practice. During his surgical training, Dr. Uyeno's interests in medicine gradually changed to emergency medicine and critical care with an emphasis on emergency surgery, and that has been his focus ever since.

Dr. Uyeno has a farm of rescue animals from dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats that all seem to have different medical problems. Outside of work, Dr. Uyeno enjoys outdoor sports with his family. His favorites include motocross, hiking, camping, fishing and wake-boarding.
