About
Hi there! I’m Alina, a mixed-animal Veterinarian.
Keeping you and your pet close through personalized, compassionate veterinary care.
ONCE UPON A TIME
At the age of three, I knew I wanted...
to be a veterinarian, and year after year, I reinforced my ambitions by caring for my own animals to the best of my ability. I grew up with a diverse range of pets and a very supportive family. After graduation from Western University of Health Sciences, I had a rotating internship with specialists. This accelerated my career since I was able to work alongside excellent veterinarians who sought expertise in their fields and learned from them. I was afterwards employed as an emergency doctor, which exposed me to the exciting and energizing world of emergency and critical care, where there is never a dull moment.
Despite the craziness of emergency care,
this allowed me to set goals that were consistent with specialized hospitals and strengthen my client communication skills. I quickly discovered that educating clients plays an important role in not just minimizing ER visits but also ensuring owner compliance with treatment plans. It is critical that owners understand what is happening with their pet to provide the best possible care. Although crises are unavoidable, I thought that teaching owners about preventative medicine and potential dangers typically observed in the ER would allow me to assist even more patients successfully.
As a result, I founded Rancho Vet to have a greater impact on exceptional pet-owner relationships through routine health care in the general practice setting.
