I approach my interactions with clients as if we are a team working together to provide the best care/outcomes for their pets and for them,” says Dr. Lang. Dr. Lang’s early veterinary work experiences started at the San Diego Zoo. She completed undergraduate studies at the University of California, San Diego in 2000 and then went on to earn a degree in Veterinary Medicine from the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in Massachusetts in 2013.
