USDA Accredited Professional
Dr. Donald S. Wood received his veterinary degree, with honors from The Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan. He has lived all over the United States and Canada, finally migrating to sunny southern California. The place he was meant to be!
After graduating from WCVM, Dr. Wood did a one-year internship at the prestigious Animal Medical Center in New York City, and then he did a three-year surgery residency at Michigan State University. After MSU, he wanted to venture to the "warmer" climate, accepting a surgical position at a specialty practice in Los Angeles. Dr. Wood's passion is to perfect all aspects of small animal surgery from start to finish with attention to detail at every level of practice. Dr. Wood is proficient with numerous orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries, with a special interest in knee surgeries (ruptured cruciate ligament repair).
Dr. Wood is the proud father of three very active children. His oldest daughter Brandi is a practicing obstetrician/gynecologist (OB-GYN) in Atlanta, Ben is a Software Development Engineer at Amazon, and Ava is a Senior attending Cathedral Catholic High School. In his spare time, Dr. Wood enjoys mountain biking, hiking throughout San Diego County, Harney & Sons Tea (English Breakfast!), and taking evening walks with his Labrador "Creasy".
