Dr. Christopher Trott
Medical Director

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.
