Dr. Brian Evans is a San Diego native. He moved away to begin the pursuit of his undergraduate and veterinary degree from the University of California, Davis. He completed his B.S. in Biology: Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior. After receiving his veterinary degree, he set off to New York City to participate in arguably the most intensive internship in the country. During the year, he was trained by some of the top veterinarians in emergency and critical care, internal medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, cardiology, neurology, pathology, and radiology. There he started his first mobile veterinary practice and traveled to each of his appointments with his black medical bag via the NY subway system. Upon his return to San Diego in 2007, he re-started his housecall practice which then allowed him to open Coastal Animal Hospital. He founded The HANA Fund, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to providing free and low-cost veterinary care to homeless and financially needy families. He is the past Clinical Director of Dutch and a veterinary advisor to MyPetPath. He was on the board of directors of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association and is the past president of the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association. He is also a second-degree black belt in the Korean martial art Tang Soo Do [citation].
