Dr. Leah Krugman got her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at Cal Poly in 2006 and then attended veterinary school at Washington State University. After graduating in 2011, she moved back to the Central Coast to live with her husband, two cats, dog, and horse. In her spare time Dr. Leah enjoys crafts and photography when she is not curled up watching a movie with her pets. She is very interested in all aspects of veterinary medicine, but especially enjoys surgery and hopes to pursue certification in veterinary acupuncture in the future.

Sue has been the office manager for Orcutt Veterinary Hospital since the beginning. She brings extensive customer service and front office experience to her position from her years in the banking, aerospace and insurance industries. She has a calm, patient manner that immediately puts our patients and their guardians at ease.

Allison's childhood dream was to become a veterinarian, but instead she attended college to pursue a music major followed by an English major. She then remembered her dream but could not fathom eight more years of school. She became a member of our team and is studying again, only this time it is to become a registered veterinary technician.

Gaby brings with her years of office experience as well as a great love for animals. She was a client of Dr. Forsythe's for several years before the opening of Orcutt Veterinary Hospital. She now combined her passion and her experience and is enjoying her part as a member of the team.

Jen has worked as a surgical veterinary assistant for the humane society for several years prior to coming aboard at Orcutt Veterinary Hospital. We really appreciate her blend of practical experience and common sense in her job here with us.

Lynn has worked for veterinary hospitals four years prior to joining our team. Her previous jobs as graphic artist, illustrator, technical artist and drafter designer required her to be a perfectionist and a problem solver - great skills to have as a team member here at Orcutt Veterinary Hospital!

Gianna has been with our team since September of 09 and has been a friendly face to greet both our human and furry friends. She is dedicated to helping animals in anyway she can and would give her own time to help an animal in need. Her hopes for the future is to go into the ultrasonography field were she can help people, but her true passion and love with always remain with animals.
