DOCTOR

Susanne Galin

Susanne Galin

Since graduating from UC Davis with a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2003 and a Ph.D. in Infectious Disease in 2007, Dr. Galin developed extensive experience in general and emergency veterinary medicine. In addition, she has many years of research at the University of California and Stanford, which allows her to stay current on the latest veterinary research. 

Dr. Galin returned to clinical practice because of her deep-rooted passion for helping those in her community. She offers natural, holistic remedies that complement the most cutting-edge treatment options available in the industry today. 

Dr. Galin loves spending time with her family when not in the clinic. She loves dogs, having shared her life with two for the past 16+ years. Sadly, she lost both of them over the past two years and may adopt again in the future. At present, Dr. Galin enjoys caring for her chickens and saltwater fish. She looks forward to continuing the outstanding care and legacy Dr. Anderson created at the clinic that our patients have grown to love.
