Dr. Gina Davis is a local southern California native and is excited to join Ohana Pet Hospital. She taught high-school biology for a few years and finally pushed herself to pursue her life-long dream of being a veterinarian. She graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and entered private practice in the Davis-Sacramento area where she remained for ten years. Dr. Davis eventually was able to combine her two main passions, teaching and veterinary medicine, as she joined the faculty at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. She started a new service in the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital to provide primary care teaching opportunities for students, as well as care for community patients and the service has become a foundation in the curriculum. Dr Davis obtained her board certification in Canine and Feline Practice while she was a faculty member at UC Davis as well. Dr. Davis was then recruited by University of Sydney, School of Veterinary Science, in Sydney, Australia to start a new Primary Care Service in their University Teaching Hospital. Although she loved her UC Davis home, she was excited to take on a new challenge and experience living overseas so she moved down under. She loved every minute of being in Australia and will be forever grateful for such an amazing experience. She did end up missing California and her adult son, so she made the tough decision to move back to California. Dr. Davis’ professional interests include all aspects of primary care but she is still very much a teacher at heart. She loves discussing options for care with pet owners, providing guidance for new employees and most importantly, appreciates her ongoing learning. She has recently moved to the area with her two dogs and her cat. She will tell everyone that her cat is simply the best cat in the world, so please don’t try to convince her otherwise.
