About Vet

I was raised in Los Angeles, CA in a small area called Cheviot Hills. Growing up I always had an affinity towards animals, feeding stray cats, taking birds and squirrels in my care. I didn't know what a veterinarian was entitled to at that young age but I knew when I got my first dog at the age of 6, that I had a bond with him stronger than any bond I ever had. My passion for animals and affinity towards medicine brought me finally to apply to vet school.
I got my veterinary degree in 2009. Shortly after I moved to the Bay Area and worked in multiple locations in the Bay Area with experience in small animal medicine and small mammals. I currently travel and work at multiple hospitals in California. This gives me flexibility to travel abroad and learn new things all the time. Every hospital I worked at has something special about them to offer and help broaden my scope.
I am a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, California Veterinary Medical Association. My interests are in senior pet care, dermatology, canine rehabilitation, and pocket pets. I am a big believer in preventative medicine, quality medicine and love to connect with clients on how to strengthen their human-animal bond and keep their pets healthy and happy for as long as possible.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with her husband, rescue pet dog - Remy, and 2 rescue cats Ree and Mee. My passions are enjoying nature, going hiking, traveling, cooking, and exploring new dog-friendly restaurants in California.

DISCLAIMER****** ****************PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BOOKING Unfortunately, in the state of CA, where I am licensed, Veterinarians are unable to DIAGNOSE AND/OR PRESCRIBE MEDICATION through online appointments unless there is an in-person exam prior to online meetings within the last 12 months.
Therefore I am only available for Telehealth and triage advice only. However, I can still help answer as many questions as you may have about your pet's health and well-being in realm. For instance questions like "When to take your pet to the vet?", "Am I feeding my pet a good pet food?", " How to get my pet to urinate outside instead of inside my house ?". Having experience working in over 20 hospitals, I can help you to make your appointment with the vet more fruitful, guide you on what questions are vital to ask along with other topics.
As mentioned above I am strong believer in preventative care and love educating my clients. ;) I would be more than happy to review your pet's bloodwork with you as this is something I enjoy doing at my regular jobs as well. I can also suggest any over-the-counter supplements or medications when they may be suitable as well on a case-to-case basis. If you are booking and looking for a certain time or date, send me a message and I will try to accommodate your schedule whenever I can. I look forward to speaking to you and meeting your furry friend(s). Cheers!

Dr. Sheriff provided some valuable tips for our cat with some of her behaviour issues. Many of which were things we had never even thought of. Appreciate all the helpful advice.

This was my first time using this app and I was happy with my experience. My Dr was kind and helpful, providing sources for me and recommended products I was having a hard time finding. I would recommend.
