Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I did an introduction. If you have been following along for a long time thank you and welcome to our new followers!
My name is Dr. Marcia Medrano. I’m a first generation Bolivian American who’s always loved animals. I grew up in Miami, Florida surrounded by stray kitties to feed, local iguanas and other critters in my neighborhood. At that time, I knew I always wanted animals in my life.
I attended St George’s University Veterinary School in the Caribbean. It was the best experience of my life and where I met most of my closest friends. We studied horses, sheep, donkeys and goats at the nearby farms and took care of the dogs and cats at the local hospital.
I completed my final clinical year at the University of Pennsylvania. I realized I had more hands-on animal experience than the U.S. students, due to my schooling on an island, I loved every minute.
I eventually ventured to New York, then California where I have been an SF California girl ever since. I worked at several Bay Area Emergency hospitals, such as Berkeley Dog and Cat Hospital where I still practice medicine from time to time. My true calling is at home veterinary medicine. In 2014 I started MedranoVets and I have never been happier. My mobile veterinary practice allows me to provide a stress free experience to all my patients and clients in their most comfortable environment, their home. It is incredibly rewarding to have pets and owners more comfortable for exams and procedures. I can also spend 45-60 mins on a visit, which gives us time to discuss any and all concerns. It is often only in a pets’ home where they can show more authentic behaviors and symptoms. My favorite thing about my job is cuddling dogs and cats during their exam and having pet parents tell me that the visit was so much better than going into an office.
