Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Kaufman was born and raised in Burbank, California. He earned his undergraduate degree at UC Davis and continued his education at Araneta University in Manilla, Philippines where he earned his veterinary degree. He completed his clinical rotation at Louisiana State University before returning to Southern California and beginning his veterinary career. His first experience practicing medicine was at a hospital in Manhattan Beach.. He bought his first practice, Marina Animal Hospital, in Redondo Beach in 1990. The practice rapidly outgrew the small facility. The need for more space and the desire to to care for more pets in the South Bay helped Dr. Kaufman make the decision to purchase Harbor Animal Hospital in Torrance. Because Harbor Animal Hospital was just a few miles down the street, Dr. Kaufman was able to combine the two practices into one, at the new, larger facility.
