Dr. Lisa is not the type of veterinarian to take a hands-off approach. Deeply committed and passionate about animal welfare, her practice is dedicated to improving the quality of life for all animals -- and for the humans who love them.
Dr. Lisa is a graduate of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. She has received veterinary research fellowships from Stanford University and the University of Tokyo. She works with dogs, cats and exotic animals, and has completed clinical rotations at various zoos. After veterinary school, she moved back to Los Angeles and worked in private practice. In the last several years, she spent most of her time in the non-profit sector. She has special interests in spay/neuter programs, feral cat trap-and-release programs and anti-cruelty initiatives. Dr. Lisa was honored with President’s Volunteer Service Awards in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
At home, Dr. Lisa enjoys spending time with her three cats, a lovable 90-pound Sulcata tortoise, and four utterly spoiled pups. She can often be spotted hiking with her dogs at Griffith Park.
