Meet the Team at Valley Veterinary Hospital

She spent many years working with shelter medicine and also worked in a specialty hospital, which made her knowledge for veterinary medicine wide and diverse. She is very happy to join the Valley Veterinary Hospital team and is eager to meet many new pets to help them to live their best life with good care and health. In her free time, Dr. Magali loves kayaking, and now she wants to learn paddleboarding.
