Dr. Veronica Villanueva

Dr. Veronica Villanueva

Medical Director

Colorado State University; Western University of Health Sciences

Dr. Villanueva (V) was raised in Albuquerque, NM, but her heart has always been in SoCal. She graduated from Colorado State University (Go Rams!) with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and a minor in Neuroanatomy/Biomedical Sciences. She went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, CA, in 2011.

After graduation, Dr. V was accepted into a competitive, AVMA-approved small animal emergency and surgical rotating internship at Pet Emergency and Specialty Hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA. During this internship, she discovered her passion for small animal emergency medicine and exotic pet care. She returned to New Mexico, where she served families and their pets for over eight years, before making her way back to Southern California to provide compassionate and practical care for pets of all kinds.

Her special interests include emergency surgery, critical care, endocrine emergencies, wound care, pain management, diagnostic ultrasounds, and mentoring fellow veterinarians. Dr. Villanueva has a special place in her heart for senior and geriatric pets and values the human-animal bond, no matter the species.

Dr. Villanueva enjoys spending time with her husband Anthony, their daughters and son, and four-legged babies: Kiki (a French Bulldog), Clementine (a Pug), and Torkoal (a Desert Tortoise). In her free time, she loves listening to music, practicing hot yoga, fishing, and watching Major League Baseball.

I can’t say enough good things about the incredible team at Anaheim Veterinarian Emergency Group. From the moment I walked in, they were accommodating, helpful, and genuinely caring. The staff took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and patiently, no matter how many I had. Their knowledge and compassion were evident in every interaction, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. I truly appreciated their attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure both my pet and I felt comfortable and cared for. If you’re ever in need of emergency veterinary care, I highly recommend this exceptional team. They truly make a difference!

This place is amazing. Our Bernie had bloat at 2 am and I have never been more scared or concerned. VEG was great acted quickly to save our baby and they really explained what they were going to do and what we could expect. Dr Reid completed the surgery and gave us a thorough run down of how it went and next steps. All of the nurses were so kind and sweet with George. Dr. Townsley was amazing caring for George while he was in the hospital recovering and he was so helpful in keeping us updated. Holly was also one of the amazing standout queens who helped us understand the financing and really made sure we were well taken care of. If you have an animal emergency this is the place you want.

3/5/25 We brought our guinea pig, Kava, into VEG last evening because when we were bathing him, we felt a lump under his nipple. The staff here is INCREDIBLE!! You are in GREAT HANDS here at VEG. The vet and nurses have been so amazing to us, they literally go above and beyond to help you feel at home. Kava had to have surgery to remove tumors and they don't mind me worshipping God and praying continuously over him.❤️ Thank you so very much VEG!! AMAZING HOSPITALITY AND SERVICE!!! I wish I could leave more than 5 starsss :((
