Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Hobson is a 1981 graduate of the Royal Veterinary College in London, UK. He spent 20 years in general small animal practice before his increasing interest in dentistry led him to practice exclusively in this area of veterinary surgery. There are very few veterinarians who work in veterinary dentistry and are able to perform complex dental treatment such as root canal treatment, treatment of malocclusions and surgery for oral tumors. Dr. Hobson has worked exclusively in veterinary dentistry for 15 years. During that time he moved from the UK to Los Angeles and now see cases both in Southern California and in the UK. His commitments to veterinary dental education include teaching at the Royal Veterinary College as a guest lecturer, presenting at conferences and local meetings and authoring articles for veterinary books, journals and newsletters. Dental disease is extremely common in pets. It causes immense pain and suffering, but our pets are not good at telling us about it. It is his mission to bring the best in veterinary dentistry to all pets by both providing great dental care on a referral basis and by better educating veterinarians in general practice about dental issues. Dr. Hobson provides a comprehensive service in dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery.
