Dr. Lori Faber:
Dr. Lori Faber joined B.C.P.H. as an associate in 1992. Lori has special interest in rabbits, "pocket pets" and dentistry of our pets.
Raised in Southern California and always pursuing the dream of becoming a veterinarian, Lori has a broad base of animal experiences. From pets to livestock she has worked with many different species from her childhood through her university education. She attended UC Davis for both her Bachelor's of Science in Animal Sciences and Master's of Reproductive Physiology. Continuing at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine she graduated with her DVM degree in 1992. The challenges of small animal medicine and many rewards from the pets and clients of B.C.P.H. have kept her from returning to the beloved cows and goats!
When she isn't here at B.C.P.H., Lori's hobbies include snow skiing, hiking, kayaking, gardening, and enjoying her many different pets. Dogs, cats, a parrot, birds, a rabbit, guinea pigs and fish are the current list of critters in Lori's family. Keeping up with family and friends occupies any other time after that!
