Dr. Li had a keen interest in pets as a boy. His childhood was filled with numerous dogs, cats, rabbits and fish. He was born and raised in China. He was a veterinary graduate of China Agricultural University and trained at the University of Guelph at Canada. He started chasing his American dream in 2012 and successfully completed ECFVG and NAVLE in 2017. His career included one year in emergency medicine in Michigan and two years in general practices in Texas. California became his destination in 2020. 

In the clinic, he is interested in small animal surgery and emergency medicine, and strives to excel in these areas. In his spare time, he likes bicycling, fishing and mountain climbing.

Since she was little, Dr. Sefildzhian always knew that she wanted to work with animals. She grew up right here in the valley and in high school she was involved in many agricultural projects. She went to Pierce College and was an active member of the Pre-Veterinary Club and from there, she transferred to CSU Chico and received a bachelor's degree in Microbiology. She went to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and completed her clinical training at Michigan State University. As a recent graduate, she still looks forward to learning and perfecting her skills while providing great care.

Her interests include surgery, preventative care, and client education. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
