Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Alex grew up in Los Banos, California and could be found cleaning kennels and helping out at his father’s vet clinic from a young age. Following in his father’s footsteps, he attended Kansas State University for his undergraduate studies and then graduated from UC Davis Veterinary School in 2008. During veterinary school, his studies focused both on farm animal and small animal medicine. After graduating he moved to Sonora, California, at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains where he practiced at a busy small animal veterinary clinic for 8 years. Alex has additional continuing education training in small animal dentistry and ultrasound.

Dr. Casey grew up in Carlsbad where she spent all her free time riding and taking care of horses. She attended UC Davis for undergraduate and veterinary school. She graduated veterinary school in 2009 with Phi Zeta Honors and received the CVMA award for practice excellence. After graduation she completed a rigorous internship at Pioneer Equine Hospital in Oakdale. She practiced in Sonora for the next 5 years where she was credited with bringing high quality equine services to previously under-served areas, serving a call radius of 80 miles. As a true mixed animal practitioner, she sometimes practiced on dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, cows and even a pig in the same day. In 2017, she completed an intensive course in veterinary medical acupuncture through the Curacore Instititute, becoming a certified Veterinary Medical Acupuncturist (cVMA) for both small and large animals. She is the daughter of an OB/GYN and a high school science teacher.

The doctors have two young children, a cat, a dog and two horses to keep them busy when they aren’t at the clinic! In our free time we enjoy gardening, camping, hiking, cooking and the company of friends.

We are a small family business committed to our community and we hold a special place in our hearts for the pets and people that walk through our doors. We hope to gain your trust and fellowship and become your pet’s lifetime veterinarian!

Dr. Elizabeth Hoose grew up in Morro Bay and is happy to be returning to the central coast! She attended Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo for undergraduate where she obtained a BS in Animal Science. Following her bachelors, she caught the travel bug and attended the University of Glasgow, Scotland where she obtained her veterinary degree with honors as well as an honors business certification from the VBMA. After returning to California, Dr. Elizabeth practiced as an ambulatory large animal veterinarian for two years, with a focus on horses. Now back on the central coast, she is excited to help the dogs and cats of Cambria.

When she’s not at work, you can find her hiking, fishing, hunting, and camping with her corgi, Minnie! Dr. Elizabeth also enjoys dancing (ballroom, latin club, and country) after a long work day.
