Dr. Germaine Germundson earned her undergraduate degree from MiraCosta College in 2021 and went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from St. George’s University in 2026, completing her clinical training at Cornell. Born in Southern California, she spent part of her childhood in Switzerland just outside Zurich, where early exposure to her uncle’s large and small animal practice sparked her passion for veterinary medicine. After years of training and international experience, she is grateful to return to California and serve pets and their families with compassionate care.
