Dr. Trott grew up in Southern California. After attending colleges out of state, he came back to San Diego to complete a rotating internship at a veterinary specialty hospital. As an emergency vet, Dr. Trott was intrigued by the new way of practicing ER medicine that was happening at VEG veterinary emergency hospitals. He especially appreciated the openness of the company, being able to allow clients to be involved in the treatment of their pets, and the ease of communication when people and their pets are kept together.

They took in my pet rat Piecrust even though they don't usually see rats. They saved her life, and I'm forever thankful. This place is amazing, was open about prices, honest about testing and did research to treat my rat. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. She's still with me today because of you guys.

Efficient, professional, and kind. Had to take the pup in to induce vomiting and they made it very calm and relaxed.

Amazing vet and staff. Got in immediately as a walk in. Very knowledgeable and comforting during examine. I'm so happy we brought our pup in to examined. Would definitely recommend and give 10 stars if I could.
