The Hospital Staff


DANIELLE
Veterinary Assistant

I have been working as a veterinary assistant since 2004 and have been working at Arden Animal Hospital since August 2006. Working with animals is very rewarding. I have an increased interest in surgery and emergency medicine but enjoy all aspects of working in a veterinary hospital. On my days off from work and school I enjoy playing with my cat Westin and my dog Marriott, reading, and spending time outdoors with my husband Nick.

LORI

Customer Service Representative 

I've worked in the animal field for over 10 years now. I've been here at Arden Animal Hospital since 1999. Prior to my employment here at the hospital I was assistant manager of a Pet Resort. I've had many animals my whole life from small to large, from a rat to a horse. I did vaulting (gymnastics on horseback) for many years and even represented the United States in Vienna, Austria, for the World Championships. I have a black lab named "T" and two cats "Baby Kitty" and "Peja". GO KINGS! GO!

DEBRA                                                                                                                                                               Customer Service Representative

I received my bachelors degree in Music Performance from California State University, Hayward. I split my time between playing classical music and working at Arden Animal Hospital. I joined the veterinary field 3 years ago in a Northern Suburb of Chicago, Illinois and after enduring two very cold winters and one very humid summer I joyfully returned home to California with my husband Jeff and our 2 furry children, Daphne (dog) and Milie (cat). I've been part of the Arden Animal Hospital team since July 2008.  Although my last name is Ortega, I am not (unfortunately) related to the Ortega of the chilie and taco dynasty.

I enjoy taking care of my 6 year old Labrador mix, Chloe. I enjoy assisting with surgeries, especially dental cleanings. I look forward to meeting all your fuzzy little creatures. :)

Arden Animal Hospital inherited me from one of their clients. Although I miss my owner I have alot of fun here. When I'm not causing trouble in the back with the doctors and techs, you can find me up front playing musical chairs with the receptionists.

Hi! My name is Galaxy. I have been a practice cat at AAH since May 2007. I was adopted by the hospital from the Consumnes River College Veterinary Technology Program where I helped RVT students learn. In my spare time I enjoy sponges, patrolling the kennel area and eating my best friend Mac's food.
