Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Tracey Mendlen Herman is a San Diego native and General Practitioner who has been with Aviara Animal Health Center since July of 2011. Dr. Mendlen Herman has always had a love for animals, but did not focus on a career in companion animal medical care until college. "Originally, I was a Criminal Justice major in college," she says, "but then I saw a movie with the main message of do what you love, no regrets. The next morning I changed my major and entire life course." She never looked back and now Dr. Mendlen Herman says she finds great satisfaction in getting to know our clients and their pets and being able to create preventative treatment plans that best meet that pet's and family's needs. She also says that after spending some time volunteering with Project Wildlife she has found a passion for working with injured wildlife.
