Did you know that pets can suffer from allergies just like humans? However, unlike humans who show symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes, pets usually exhibit allergic reactions through their skin. This can lead to allergies in pets often being overlooked or misdiagnosed as other illnesses.

<p dir="auto">I then continued my education in the United States at Oklahoma State University where I completed the PAVE program in 2010. I have been practicing veterinary medicine since 2007. Professionally, my interests are varied and include internal medicine and soft tissue surgery. I practiced in Washington State before moving down to southern California and joined Cottage Pet Hospital in 2017. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time paddle boarding and traveling with my wife. We live in Orange with our cat MiChowMi and dog Zenny.</p>

I graduated from National Taiwan University, Taiwan with my Degree of Veterinary Medicine.
