A valentine from OforA ♥️
••••
Through the eyes of a pet,
you can see their soul.
Unconditional love
and a heart that glows.

They love us no matter what,
which is why we always need to show up.

For their needs and their care
and to lovingly help their cornea repair.

All pets deserve comfortable eyes
and a happy pet is the prize.

We love our patients, big and small
and will give our best to them all!

Let’s prep for the holidays! This is a busy time of year and though we always hope for a stress free and fun holiday season, it’s important to have a plan for any unexpected veterinary needs.
••••
In order to help you prepare, make sure you have plenty of prescribed medications, have alerted your animal care team of any needed prescriptions, and know your local 24HR emergency and poison control contact information. If you have a loved one or pet sitter taking care of treatment, make sure they have clear instructions and access to support.
••••
For our local clients, please save the numbers provided above and make sure to contact the office prior to 12/23 with medication and prescription needs. We are happy to provide treatment sheets for pet sitters or care givers for a smooth transition. We hope everyone has a safe and joy filled holiday season. 🎄 🐾 ♥️

She has experience with multiple specialities including oncology, internal medicine, cardiology, surgery, and emergency medicine. Jodi has been a vital part of our OforA team since 2021 and provides excellent patient care. Jodi is a fast thinker, problem solver, supportive leader, and compassionate animal lover. We are so grateful for her wealth of knowledge and dedication to our patients and clients!

This week is National Veterinary Technician Week! We have been highlighting one of our amazing each day. Today we want to introduce and give a big shout out to JENNIFER⭐️
••••
Jennifer graduated from Foothill College’s Veterinary Technology and received her RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician) license in 2024. Prior to working in veterinary medicine, she spent 22 years as a professor of economics in Iowa. Jennifer and her husband moved to California in 2021 which gave her the opportunity to pursue her long-time dream of becoming an RVT.
••••
Jennifer joined our team in September and already knows that she loves veterinary ophthalmology! She also has interests in anesthesia/ analgesia and veterinary dentistry. We are so lucky to have her as part of our OforA family. She is incredibly kind and compassionate and her love for animals and connection with our clients create a welcoming and positive treatment experience for all.

Outside of work, Jennifer enjoys scuba diving, disc golf, walking on the beach, reading, word puzzles, and spending time with her husband and their dog, Clara.

This week is National Veterinary Technician Week! We will be highlighting one of our amazing each day. Today we would like say a huge thank you to REYNA⭐️

Reyna has been working as an RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician) in veterinary ophthalmology for the past seven years. Her vibrant energy, patience, and compassionate heart make our clients and patients feel so at ease and confident in their treatment plans. She is a star member of our team, who we all know we can turn to for support. Reyna is also our only bilingual RVT, and we are so grateful to her for allowing us the opportunity to better connect and care for our Spanish speaking community members and their pets.

This week is National Veterinary Technician Week! We will be highlighting one of our amazing techs each day starting with CHRISTA ⭐️
••••
Christa has been a veterinary assistant with OforA for over five years and is the positive energy we all rely on to keep us upbeat and on task. She goes above and beyond for our patients and clients, using special handling techniques to keep patients calm and comforted. For our staff, she is invaluable and no matter how busy the day, you will always find her with a smile on her face (and often a song or two to share). Thank you Christa for all you do for our OforA family!
••••
When not at work, Christa can be found adventuring outdoors with her two teenagers and fiancé. She is also mama to two corgis and cat. She is currently having fun planning her upcoming wedding (yay!).
