We feel fortunate to have Dr. Alviar join our team part-time. Many of you may have already had the pleasure of meeting her either in the halls or the exam room when she helped cover vacation days. Her career has been devoted to felines and she spent seven years working at an all cat practice in San Francisco. Dr. Alviar's love of animals grew early on, growing up on a ranch in northern Idaho. She did her undergraduate work at Standford University and earned her degree as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of California, Davis. She enjoys family time with her husband  and three boys. As well, she has a passion for backpacking and board games. We are grateful and excited to have Dr. Alviar at Cats Exclusive.
