Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Malena Arvizu grew-up in the out skirts of Gilroy. After high school she moved to the coast while she attended the University of California, Santa Cruz and received her bachelor's degree in biology. While she lived in Santa Cruz, she worked as a veterinary technician for several years. Dr. Arvizu then attended Oregon State University School of Veterinary Medicine in Corvallis and graduated from veterinary school in 2005. After spending one too many rainy and gray winters in the Pacific Northwest, she decided to come back to the South bay and has been here since graduation. In her spare time you may find Dr. Arvizu in the dance studio attending a ballet, jazz, or aerial dance class. She also enjoys traveling with her husband, whom she married in April 2006. Together, they have 2 cats and 1 turtle.
