Meet the Staff

Jose Garcia

Co-Lead Veterinary Assistant and Safety & Premises Supervisor

Jose joined us in September 2019. About him in his own words - Hi, I have been in the Veterinary field for about 6 years now and I love everything about it. I have a small dog named Izzie and a cat that I adopted in December last year named Eva. I grew up near Downtown LA working in electrical field but transferred over to the animal world around 2013. I have an identical twin brother that does the exact same thing for a hospital in West LA. We both love to play basketball (Go Lakers!). I am looking forward to working with your pets.
