Originally from Southern California, Dr. Christensen has lived in several places before returning to San Diego permanently. She earned her undergraduate degree from UC Davis and went on to complete her veterinary education at Midwestern University in Arizona.

Dr. Christensen is passionate about building strong relationships with her clients and providing thoughtful, compassionate care. She has special interests in neurology and surgery, and enjoys the challenges and rewards that come with both fields.

Outside of the clinic, she loves traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors with her husband and their two energetic Australian Shepherds. At home, they're also kept on their toes by a very opinionated cat.
