Meet Lauren
Before vet school, I spent fifteen years caring for animals — from killer whales and sea lions at SeaWorld to cheetahs, pangolins, and orphaned neonates at the San Diego Zoo. That background shapes how I practice: patient, observant, and calm with animals who are stressed, fearful, or hard to handle. I'm a 2026 Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences, with training across exotic companion, avian, and wildlife medicine, plus emergency, critical care, and shelter experience. I love the cases other clinics find puzzling, and I believe great care starts with really listening — to the animal and to you.

Veterinarians on PawsRx are independent professionals, not PawsRx employees. Each is solely responsible for their own advice and clinical decisions. PawsRx does not review, endorse, recommend, or guarantee anything a vet or any other user posts, and does not practice veterinary medicine. Verified means we confirmed a veterinary license exists and is active in the state shown. It is not a review of anyone's skill, judgment, or disciplinary record, and it is not an endorsement or recommendation by PawsRx. Care is provided and billed by the veterinarian or practice you choose, not by PawsRx.
