Mobile Veterinary Care in Los Angeles :: Steve Smith, DVM :: Home Pet Doctor

Dr Steve Smith was born in Ohio, and he grew up in Canada and Michigan. He graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University and earned his Michigan Veterinarian license in 1990. In the six years that followed, he worked at two animal hospitals on the border of Grosse Pointe and Detroit. After putting up with way too many winters in the midwest, Dr Steve realized that he could seek out a warmer climate. He earned his California Veterinarian license in April 1996 and moved to Redondo Beach four months later. For the next three years, he worked as the Medical Director of a daytime hospital in Palos Verdes, then he moved on to become the Chief of Emergency Medicine at a 24 hour hospital in West Hollywood. In addition to his full-time jobs, Dr Steve's done quite a bit of 'relief work' over the years, filling in shifts at over 200 daytime & emergency hospitals. In 2005, Dr Steve left the hectic world of brick and mortar veterinary medicine and launched himself into the wonderful world of house calls
