Meet Our Skilled Support Staff

My first experience working in the pet industry was when my wife, Dr. Odet Kaspari-Chiriboga and I opened up our practice in July of 2021. Dr. K handles everything with regards to the veterinary medicine and I do my best to lighten her load and take care and manage everything else!

Nareena (Nini) has been with Hillcrest Pet Hospital for 18 years. She was born in Chicago and raised in California! She is currently the office manager and has worked as a veterinary technician both here and at an emergency hospital.

Jaime has been with us for over 19 years and knows this hospital and its operations like the back of her hand! She runs every aspect of our clinic and we are beyond blessed to have her with us.

Cindy is a well-experienced veterinary technician who does an amazing job and loves and cares for our pet patients.

Daniel joined the Hillcrest team in November of 2021. He studied at California Healing Arts College as a Vet Tech Assistant. He is a lifelong dog owner and never has less than 5 dogs at home.

With over 10 years of experience in animal care and a particular love for Cats, Christopher knows how to put pets at ease, they even seem to sense his energy.

As an animal lover with a B.S. in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis, I bring hands-on experience working with everything from barnyard animals to small pets, especially dogs and cats.

This is Strike, our resident clinic cat. Strike believes he is the true owner of Hillcrest. He inherited his name after being returned, you guessed it, 3 times. We love him so much so we allow him to roam like this is his home.
