Meet your vet

Dr. Clif Machado

Owner · Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Clif Machado grew up working in a veterinary hospital with his dad. Starting as a 10-year-old giving dogs baths to becoming a veterinarian, Dr. Machado prides himself in knowing all the ins and outs that go into a veterinary hospital. Originally from San Francisco, he earned his DVM from the University of Illinois in 2018, and his special interests include dentistry and internal medicine. When Dr. Machado is not practicing veterinary medicine, he enjoys time outdoors, playing basketball, and spending time with his wife (who is also a vet!) and their two Labs, Benny and Suzy.

    Karli

    Veterinary Technician

    With over 10 years of experience as a dedicated veterinary technician, I am passionate about providing top-notch care to every patient and helping pet owners understand how to keep their animals healthy and happy. When I’m not at the clinic, you can find me off-roading on scenic trails, camping and sharing stories around a campfire with friends, or spending quality time with my favorite adventure buddy, Tuna Marie.

    Marka

    Veterinary Technician

    Hi! My name is Marka! I have been a dog handler/trainer for 7 years and a vet assistant for the last 5 years! I have 2 dogs, a yellow lab and a mastiff/cane corso. I also have a black cat, and they all like to be troublemakers. In my free time, I love to dog train, hike and play soccer. If vet med was not around, my life would be way too boring!

    I’m Alicia, born and raised in San Francisco. I’ve been working in this industry for about 10 years now. I love working with animals and hearing the stories pet parents share. I have two fur babies of my own, a dog and a cat. When I’m not working, I am usually with family or friends and love cooking in my down time.

    Myla

    Hospital / Kennel Assistant

    Hi, my name is Myla and I’ve been working with domestic pets for as long as I can remember. I’m a Bay Area native and 1st generation Filipino. I’ve been through many struggles, including homelessness, but my love for dogs sparked when I found my 1st dog in an abandoned garage during that difficult period in my life. Ever since then I have never looked back and continue to enjoy caring for all animals.

    McKenzie

    Kennel Assistant

    I was born and raised in Virginia and have been traveling and working at so many unique places since 2018. I have a lot of experience with animals, working with them and training them both personally and professionally. I have previously worked more in the kennel or boarding areas for most of my professional career, but this is my first time working in a pet hospital and I am always happy to continue to learn.
