One-of-a-Kind Care for Your Pet
Hi! My name is Dr. Debra Voulgaris a.k.a “Dr. V”
Dr. V offers her services through multiple pathways. She currently sees in-clinic patients in Costa Mesa, CA, in-home visits can be arranged in Long Beach, CA, and she offers virtual consultations to people anywhere in the world. She is committed to each and every patient and their humans and works closely with your other veterinarians to serve your companion’s highest level of health. Outside of veterinary practice, Dr. V strives to live a life that reflects her revspect for all animals, serving through healing, teaching, speaking engagements, writing, and ultimately, advocacy.
Dr. V is an outside-the-box thinker who approaches veterinary medicine through a unique blend of rigorous science and deep intuition. Her concierge holistic practice, ‘Petabolic’ Animal Wellness, is a playful nod to her specialized focus and ongoing interest in metabolic health, cellular optimazation and longevity.
Originally from New York City, Dr. V built a strong academic foundation, earning a Bachelor of Arts from SUNY Stony Brook and a Master of Arts (MA) from CUNY Hunter College. She went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Ross University and completed her clinical studies at Louisiana State University. To further her expertise, she trained at the University of Georgia before completing a rigorous three-year residency in anesthesia and pain management at the University of Tennessee.. She is certified in canine rehabilitation, (University of Tennessee) veterinary acupuncture (IVAS), Tui-Na (Chi Institute) , Food Therap (Chi Institute) y, Medical Ozone (American Academy of Ozonotherapy) Low Stress handling, (Cattle Dog Publishing) is currently inthe process of earning another certification in medical manipulation (Chi Institute). She is a graduate of the Pitcatirn Institute of Veterinary Homeopathy, and the Health Pioners Institute veterinary chiropractic program. Dr. V seems learning as life and looks forward to other certifications in the future.
Dr. V has authored multiple peer-reviewed studies in anesthesia, pain management, and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, and recently stepped into an entirely new scene with the publication of her first book, When Paws Hit the Pavement: The Official Rules of Dog Walking Etiquette. Infused with her distinct New York sensibility, and soulful advocacy, the book proves that laying down the actual rules of the road and calling out neighborhood narcissism was long overdue.
