Overview

We are a full-service veterinary hospital and veterinary medical clinic that provides care for all your pets, including exotics

Northridge Veterinary Center was co-founded in 1993 by David A. Smith, DVM and Ronald S. Summers, DVM. Rocked by the massive Northridge Earthquake in 1994, this young business showed resilience and did not stop from continuing to provide expert veterinary care because of a little seismic activity. To this day, we still embody this culture of caring under the 55 years of combined experience between our two doctors

Mission — We pride ourselves in mentoring a staff that has ambitions to one day become veterinarians and other professional positions in the veterinary field. In turn, this creates a culture of passion and scholarship which is felt by our clients and patients alike
