A UC Davis grad, Dr. Martha (Marty) Shafer has a background in zoological medicine with an emphasis on small animals/birds. When not in the Hospital, Marty can be found out-and-about with her partner and their four kids, hiking, practicing yoga, or figure skating at the local skating rink. She has grown the practice into one of the most medically progressive, health, and well-being centered pet hospitals in the area, taking over from the previous owners 5 years ago [citation][4].
