“Doing everything I can to ensure pets stay healthy and happy is what brings me the most joy as a veterinarian. While it’s critical to treat animals in need, my personal goal is to proactively monitor the health of my patients (your pets) and spend time creating personalized preventive care plans so that we can ward off potential illness”.

— Michelle Frye, DVM, SM

Head of Veterinary Service

Adam Chung, VMD, lead veterinarian

"I am excited to have the opportunity to use my experience to provide high-quality preventative care, while still walking with you through the emergent and difficult case. Being proactive and catching things early can help minimize significant illness later in life. As Benjamin Franklin once said, 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.'"

Lauren celestin, Dvm, veterinarian

"While I have spent 18 years dedicating myself to become a skilled nurse, I love that veterinary medicine is such a dynamic field allowing a chance for the whole team to learn, teach, and inspire each and every day. I am most passionate about providing the best care and support both mentally and physically for both you and your pet."
