Dr. Victor Ramirez
Founder, CEO, Senior Veterinarian
Dr. Victor Ramirez’s love for animals is evident in every interaction he has with his patients, but his decision to make veterinary medicine a career was motivated by more than just love.
Dr. Ramirez was also driven by a powerful desire to improve the relationship between our furry family members and their two-legged counterparts.
His modest upbringing made appropriate veterinary care for his favorite childhood friends not only difficult but in many cases impossible.
These early experiences shaped his current practice ideology: always offering the gold standard of care, but never hesitating to help clients prioritize diagnostics and treatment options if the gold-standard cannot be met.
Dr. Ramirez is a Los Angeles native. He graduated from the University of California, Davis and went on to complete veterinary school at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona.
