Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Karlberg decided to become a veterinarian as a young girl; she even wrote her 6th grade career report on becoming an animal doctor! She received her Bachelor of Science Degrees in Biological Sciences and Animal Sciences from California Polytechnic in San Luis Obispo. She then did her doctorate work at Iowa State University, graduating with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1996. She moved to San Diego and worked for ABC Veterinary Hospitals for 8 years before purchasing the El Cajon location in 2004. She changed the hospital name and has owned Care & Comfort Veterinary Hospital ever since. She is married to her husband, Steve Brentnall, and has two beautiful and active children, Piper and Finn. Two cats, a turtle, and salt water fish currently finish her family. Dr. Karlberg loves to read, camp, fly fish, travel, ride horses and spend time with her family.
