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.

She looks forward to continuing the outstanding care and legacy Dr. Anderson created at the clinic that our patients have grown to love.
