About Our Hospital

I live in Stockton with my husband Brian, our Dachshund, Goose, and our Calico cat, Tuna.

I graduated from the University of the Pacific with a bachelor’s in Biological Science and completed my veterinary training at Ross University in St. Kitts, in the West Indes.

Since childhood, I have been interested in both animals and medicine. My family raised small birds including parakeets, cockatiels, and quails, and there was always a dog or cat or two around the house. As time went on, I realized that I could combine both of my passions with a career in veterinary medicine.

When I’m’ not at the clinic, I like to read science fiction novels and bake cookies, pies, cakes, and tarts.

I’m a passionate Registered Veterinary Technician with a deep love for animals and a strong commitment to their well-being. Every day, I feel incredibly fortunate to care for pets, providing them with the medical attention and support they need to live healthy, happy lives. Whether it’s assisting with surgeries, conducting diagnostic tests, or simply offering comfort during their visits, I find joy in being a part of their journey to better health. Being able to build trusting relationships with both pets and their owners makes this career truly rewarding for me.

Hi, my name is Carol Brighton. I grew up on a farm on Roberts Island. Since my early childhood I have always had a special bond with animals. I started working at Sierra Veterinary Hospital four years ago as a kennel assistant. Because of the training the staff here provided for me the last two years I have worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. I feel I contribute to the clinic because of my unique approach of the way I handle the patients here. I have my own language I talk to them with. I also use soft verbal tones combined with gentle stroking to calm the patients down when they are afraid or in pain. Sierra Veterinary Hospital has given me the opportunity to pursue my dreams. Working here has been a joy for me.

Hi. My name is Brenda and I have been here at Sierra Veterinary Hospital since October 2005. My favorite thing about being part of the Sierra family is the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people with love and dedication to animals of all kinds. This not only applies to the friendships I have made with my coworkers but also to all of you who visit us. I enjoy hearing all the humorous and heartfelt stories of our furry friends’ adventures and get great satisfaction in being able to offer comfort during the tougher times. I cherish the memories I have made here.

At home I have several furry friends of my own who keep me busy. Both of my dogs, Tina and Charlie, wandered in to Sierra looking for somewhere to go. Little did they know what they were in for when I adopted them and brought them home to a house full of cats. It’s taken some time for everyone to adjust but I think they have finally come to an understanding. My husband and I also have two kids of the non-furry variety who bring much love and laughter to our lives.

I look forward to many more years here at Sierra and the opportunity to get to know all of you better.
