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, owning three hospitals, before increasing interest in dentistry led him to practice exclusively in this area of veterinary dentistry. He has worked exclusively in veterinary dentistry for 15 years. During that time he moved from the UK to Los Angeles and now sees cases both in California and in the UK. He provides a comprehensive service in dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery. 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 my mission to bring the best in veterinary dentistry to all pets by both providing dental care on a referral basis and by better educating vets in general practice on dental issues. He has a wife, three adult children and a young child. He also enjoys triathlete competition.
