About myself: My focus while obtaining my DVM degree was in small and exotic animals. I’ve kept, shown, raised and basically spent my life with all types of animals and always knew that my life would revolve around the care of animals. My ultimate goal in my practice of veterinary medicine is to provide my furry, feathered, or scaly patients with the care and attention their guardians would expect for themselves. All my life, my home has been filled to overflowing with “little critters” of all types. As long as I can remember I wished to become a veterinarian and have worked towards that goal. I was fortunate enough to attend WSU where I completed my bachelors in veterinary science, graduating Magna Cum Laude. I also obtained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from WSU where I was a member of the veterinary honors society of phi zeta and again graduated Magna Cum Laude. Since starting practice at Alta Mesa Animal Hospital in May of 2000, I’ve evolved from an associate position to the hospital’s Medical Director. In 2012 I married a wonderful man who is a practicing human pharmacist. I’m fortunate that my husband shares my passion for animals and understands my dedication to patient care. Purpose: This page was created as an extension of my long held web site and has now evolved to include my own Small & Exotic Pet Hospital in Gilbert, AZ. See www.littlecrittersvet.com

Sugar glider dental extractions for abscessed teeth - Tooth extractions in sugar gliders are extremely delicate procedures. Because their teeth and jaws are so tiny, veterinarians must use specialized instruments and advanced dental skills. Very fine dental elevators—sometimes as small as needles—are used to carefully loosen and remove the tooth while protecting the surrounding bone.

Meet our scaly patient, the bearded dragon! This little guy came in for a routine wellness exam - a key part of keeping reptiles healthy. Bearded dragons can hide signs of illness, so regular check-ups help us catch problems early. Did you know they can develop periodontal disease? Exams allow us to check their teeth, monitor growth, nutrition, and ensure their environment is just right. 🦎

Routine visits can help prevent metabolic bone disease, parasites, dental issues, and skin problems before they become serious. A quick visit now can mean a longer, healthier life for your scaly friend. 💚

If your bearded dragon or any reptile in need of a wellness exam, give us a call at (480)696-7744 to schedule an exam today! 📞
