Veterinarian Overview
"My love for veterinary medicine and animals began with following my grandfather (a veterinarian) as I grew up in rural Nebraska. He served as my inspiration to pursue this career. After graduating from Kansas State University, I traveled to California to practice in the San Gabriel Valley. My family and I enjoy all this beautiful area has to offer. Playing tennis, cycling, and sports officiating are some of the activities I enjoy all year long. Our hospital in Rosemead, and subsequently, in Temple City, has served our community for more than 35 years. I especially enjoy the challenges of surgery and geriatric diagnostics. Treating our exotic patients, such as snakes and birds, is becoming a specialty of our hospital. Our goal is to provide the most innovative care possible to our clients, and to honor the unique relationship between owners and their pets."Dr. Pavlik.
