  • Dr. Shokar

    DVM

    Dr. Shokar has always had a keen interest in surgery since he started practicing veterinary medicine. This interest has blossomed into real expertise as he has performed thousands of procedures over the years. At the same time, he has always placed particular professional emphasis on dental care for our pets. As poor dental hygiene can contribute to a host of different diseases in pets, he spent years learning and perfecting new techniques to help provide the highest quality of dental care possible.

    Although veterinary medicine has been the passion of Dr. Shokar’s life, he does occasionally have some spare time to himself! When he can get some time off, he enjoys traveling, reading and going on hikes with his two terrier/miniature poodle mixed-breed dogs named Castor and Pollux (People find it hard to believe because of their fur color but they are actually brothers from the same litter!).

  • Dr. Raya

    DVM

    Dr. Raya has always had a strong love for animals, inspiring him to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Since graduating from UC Davis in 2020, he has loved all the animals and caring owners he’s been able to help. While challenging at many times, he finds his work as a veterinarian incredibly rewarding and values the strong relationships he’s able to make with his clients and patients alike. On top of cats and dogs, Dr. Raya has a keen interest in exotic animal medicine, with experience treating pocket pets, reptiles, birds, and even wildlife!

    During his free time, Dr. Raya enjoys relaxing to a good movie or reality game show, playing games with family and friends, and exploring his local community. At home, Dr. Raya is kept company by his two corn snakes, Zuko and Paprika, with many more pets surely to come in the future!
