About ME

I'm Dr. Sydney Pokard, and I am a small animal & exotics veterinarian practicing in Southern California. After graduating from Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016, I went straight into practice working with small animals, exotics, and wildlife, as well as being part of the team at a local zoo. 

I am passionate about inspiring and empowering veterinary students and other young veterinarians. My goal is to be able to be a mentor for those interested in exotic animal medicine, be a resource for exotic medicine when it isn't available in school, and to educate my local community about small animal and exotic animal pet care. 

I would love to get to know you as well, and learn about how I can help.
