THE ROAD NOT TAKEN. As I stand alongside Dr. Michael Bailey, the current president-elect of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), I am reminded of the profound impact he has had on my journey in veterinary medicine.

ONE STEP AT A TIME.

For many, the idea of progress through perseverance, steady effort and dogged determination, is natural, almost instinctual. So much so, that steady effort is often overlooked.

Pauli Murray, a civil rights and gender equality trailblazer, collaborated with giants like MLK. Born in 1910, she was the first Black woman ordained as an Episcopal priest. Her legacy inspires us to pursue equity in all areas of life including equity and access to veterinary care Happy MLK Day!

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. A huge thank you to Kate Karp and The Long Beach Watchdog (@lbwatchdog) for featuring Stitches Veterinary Surgery in your report! Your support helps us continue our mission means so much.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. New Year’s Pet Safety Alert. As we celebrate the holiday, let’s keep our pets safe from common surgical dangers. Trauma can occur from festive activities or accidents, while gastrointestinal obstructions may result from ingesting decorations or human food.

MAKING BIG S.T.R.I.D.D.E.S. First time presenting on osteoarthritis in two amazing venues: Cineplex and Safari Park, San Diego. It was the first time an audience lounged in a theater for such a talk! Huge thanks to Zoetis for this inspiring collaboration!
