Our Doctors              






 

Dr. Keith Farquhar              see my pets
 
Prior to earning my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 2002, I earned my undergraduate degree from Montana State University while serving as a police K9 handler. It was when my four-legged partner became ill and required intensive care and surgery that I became interested in veterinary medicine as a career.

 After graduating from veterinary school I returned to Montana to work with my mentor where I developed special interests in chronic pain management, general surgery and oncology. Wanting to escape the long, cold winters in the northern Rocky Mountains I moved to California in 2005. I live with my wife, Jill, stepdaughters Tea and Zoe, two dogs, two cats, and two guinea pigs.




 Dr. Don Schlange             see my pets
 

I graduated from U.C. Davis in 1993 and started working at Animal Hospital that same year.  After 15 years I still can not imagine doing anything else.  My passion has always been in general medicine but I have special interests in Diagnostic Ultrasonography, Dentistry, and surgery. 

I live with my beautiful wife and two step daughters.  Currently we have 5 cats (Oscar, Gary, Soot, Lex, and Lou), and 12 Geckos.  Anybody interested in a baby crested gecko?  ;)

My favorite hobbies are spending time with my family, mountain biking, camping, tennis, and taking care of all the geckos.  

 

Dr. Matty Elliott            see my pets
 

I graduated from Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1987 and have been working at Animal Hospital for over 11 years. 
I share my life with my husband, Joe, two cats, Topaz and NLC (Nice Little Cat), and a cockatiel, Mellow (who is anything but...)
 


Dr. Tom Hansen               see my pets

Dr. Hansen graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. His favorite areas of practice are internal medicine and ultrasound, but he enjoys seeing the variety of cases that come in each day. Outside of work he enjoys travelling, watching movies, and playing his trumpet in the Walnut Creek Concert Band. He has 3 cats and would like to adopt a dog but keeps getting vetoed by the cats.
