Dr. Heather Aubrey

DVM

Originally from the bay area, Heather went to UC Santa Barbara for her undergraduate degree and triple majors in Biology, Art Studio and Art History. She then went on to veterinary school in Pomona at Western University of Health Sciences and graduated in 2007. 

After graduating vet school, Heather worked at a small animal emergency practice in Southern California for the first 2 years out of school.  Eventually the night shifts got the better of her and she has been doing general practice since 2009. 

Needing a change from Los Angeles, Heather moved to Oakhurst in 2019 and found her new home clinic at Animal Hospital of the Sierra right away. Heather loves working in this mountain town and helping clients and their animal’s live life to the fullest. 

Heather is living her dream life with her partner and a plethora of animals including 3 German Shepherd mixes, a Golden Retriever, a Dutch Shepherd miniature, too many cats, chickens, fish, and a few goats.

Recently Heather and Tom started a home euthanasia business called Mountain Shepherd Veterinary Services. Being able to offer such a service in the home has been a true blessing for people and their pets.
