Lindsey Rockwood was born and raised off highway 68. After being away at school for many years, she has returned to the immediate area. For as long as she can remember, she has always wanted to be a veterinarian and has always had a love and respect for all animals. As a child, her family would bring their pets to see Dr. Susan Parry at Toro Park, and she has fond memories of always having a positive experience at the hospital.
Dr. Rockwood completed her prerequisite courses at Colorado University, Boulder, and UC Davis with a major in Animal Biology and minor in Spanish. While living in Davis, she volunteered and later worked for the University's Teaching Hospital as a technician in the Large Animal Intensive Care Unit, caring for critically ill patients including horses, premature foals, llamas, alpacas, donkeys, cows, goats, sheep, and pigs. The skills acquired as an ICU technician definitely helped her through veterinary school.
Dr. Rockwood graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2008 and has been practicing on the Monterey Peninsula ever since. Her special interests include acupuncture and rehabilitation, soft tissue surgery, dentistry and oral surgery, and nutritional management of medical conditions. Dr. Rockwood is very passionate about her career, but in her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities with her son. He has become an avid lover of snowboarding, hiking, and camping – just like his mom Her fur family includes a cute young Chihuahua mix, a young sweet Golden Retriever, and a sweet lovable cat that enjoys playing with the dogs.
