This specialized training was provided by the Viticus Group in Las Vegas, NV, from November 10-12, 2024.

Driven by a lifelong desire to help animals, she has never envisioned any career other than veterinary medicine. 

“I find it very satisfying to be able to help animals when they need me the most. If a patient is in pain or discomfort, it is gratifying to be able to help them relieve the pain and go back to being themselves. Surgery is my biggest passion. I look forward to learning the latest techniques as they emerge to help my patients.” – Dr. Liliana Roa Garcia, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Wags Animal Hospital
