We’re excited to share that Bixby Animal Specialty & Emergency has welcomed two board certified specialists to our 24 7 care team, expanding the advanced and collaborative care available for your pets
Please join us in welcoming
🐾 Dr. Rebecca Walton, DVM, DACVECC
Board Certified in Emergency and Critical Care
“Hi, I'm Dr. Rebecca Walton and I’m from Southern California but spent much of my training across the country. I completed veterinary school in Southern California, followed by a rotating internship at the University of Minnesota and an Emergency and Critical Care residency at North Carolina State University. After residency, I served on faculty at Iowa State University for seven years before returning home to Southern California.
Being a criticalist allows me to care for the sickest ER and hospitalized patients while collaborating closely with multiple specialties to provide multimodal care. I especially enjoy respiratory and toxicology emergencies, as well as extracorporeal therapy. I thrive in the fast paced emergency setting and value building relationships with families during critical moments.”
🐾 Dr. Kristen Kelly, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM)
Board Certified Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialist
“Hi, I’m Dr. Kristen Kelly and I specialize in internal medicine at Bixby Animal Specialty & Emergency. I help pets with complex health issues involving the gastrointestinal, kidney, liver, endocrine, and immune systems. I use diagnostic ultrasound and endoscopy to provide minimally invasive diagnostics, and also perform bone marrow sampling, joint taps, fine needle aspirates, and airway sampling.
I love partnering with pet owners to navigate complicated medical cases and ensure every pet receives compassionate, expert care.”
With their addition we continue strengthening our specialty services to provide the highest level of emergency and advanced medical care all under one roof
