Dr. Abigail Pines

Medical Director 

Dr. Pines grew up in New York City and has very recently relocated to the Sacramento area. We are excited to have Dr. Pines at Arden Animal Hospital and for her to experience all that the West Coast has to offer. 

Dr. Pines received a B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior from Barnard College and earned her veterinary degree at Cornell University in 2017.  After earning her DVM from Cornell University, Dr. Pines accepted a small animal internship in New York, where she developed an interest in Emergency and Critical Care.  After about a year working exclusively in emergency medicine, Dr. Pines transitioned to general practice medicine.   

Dr. Pines's professional interests include dentistry, long-term management of chronic illnesses and educating new pet owners in preventative care. Dr. Pines says her number one goal is always patient care and safety and treats each pet like her own.

Dr. Pines and her husband enjoy their standard poodle named Giorgia, and cat named Walnut.  In addition to veterinary medicine, Dr. Pines enjoys reading, traveling, and baking pies when not working!
