The Bay Area’s most trusted emergency and specialty doctors. EMERGENCY VETS SPECIALTY VETS Emergency Veterinarians Sonya Sia, DVM - Chief of Emergency Dr. Sonya Sia was born and raised in San Francisco and graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Animal Science & Management in 2007. She moved to St. Kitts and attended Ross University for her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and completed her clinical year at Purdue University in Indiana in 2012. Since graduating with her DVM, she completed a 1 year rotating internship at the Veterinary Specialty Hospital in San Diego and a second 1 year internship in surgery at Aspen Meadow Veterinary Specialists in sister hospitals in Boulder & Longmont, Colorado. Through all the specialty training, Sonya realized she enjoyed all aspects of veterinary medicine and has since pursued a career in emergency medicine. Sonya enjoys camping, rock climbing, back packing, hiking, biking, gardening, and loves to travel. She raises chickens and a daughter with her long time partner Michael, who she met when they both were in the 8th grade. Leanne Taylor, DVM, CVA A California native who spent her youth in various parts of the state, Dr. Leanne Taylor attended UC Berkeley for her undergraduate degrees in Integrative Biology and Celtic Studies and stayed in the area to attend UC Davis for her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2006. After completing a rotating internship on the east coast, she returned to the Bay Area and worked in general practice and urgent care for the last 14 years. She has branched out to emergency medicine and anesthesia with our neurology department after leaving general practice in 2020, and has recently become a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist. Leanne spends her time outside of work pretending to control the chaos of a house with two young children, three cats—Saulter, Sokket and Flekket—and a California desert tortoise with her husband. She enjoys hiking, skiing, and all things related to wool, knitting and sheep in her free time. Erin Nohava, DVM Dr. Erin Nohava was born and raised on the San Francisco Peninsula. She graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Animal Science in 1994, and obtained her DVM in 1999 from UC Davis Veterinary School. She then moved to San Diego and completed a 1 year rotating small animal/exotics internship at VCA Animal Hospital and Referral Center. Loving San Diego but wanting to be closer to her family, she moved back to the Bay Area in 2000 and has been living in the East Bay and working as an emergency veterinarian since. Erin found her love of the challenging and varied caseload of emergency medicine while working as a veterinary nurse before going off to veterinary school. This allowed her to focus her studies and experiences while at school and her internship. Erin grew up riding hunter/jumper horses and competing extensively throughout the West Coast and Canada. She has now traded traveling to horse shows for traveling to volleyball tournaments to watch her son play. She and her husband of over 20 years enjoy traveling and playing golf. She also loves to quilt, read and spend time with their beloved Border Terrier, Fergus. Lindsay Hynek, DVM Dr. Lindsay Hynek hails from the east coast where she discovered her passion for caring for those that cannot care for themselves. Dr. Hynek has been involved with wildlife rehabilitation, horse care, and equine competitions since she could walk and talk. It was her love of animals and the sciences that inspired her to pursue her calling as a veterinarian. Dr. Hynek earned her doctorate in veterinary medicine in the great white north of Canada at Atlantic Veterinary College on Prince Edward Island, and was internship-trained in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery from Michigan Veterinary Specialists, in addition to being USDA certified. She has a passion for diagnostic imaging, emergency and internal medicine, nutrition and hospice care, with plans to expand her training into canine physical therapy, rehabilitation and veterinary acupuncture. Dr. Hynek has volunteered at the California Wildlife Center as well as the Oakland zoo, and was even a nest guarder for the California Condor. She loves hiking with her husband Justin, her children Ella and Noah, and their German Shepherd, Duke. While in the wilderness, she strives to live by the mantra of “leave no trace”. It reminds her of the interconnectedness of all living things and how we all have to take care of each other. Taylor Slabaugh, DVM Dr. Taylor Slabaugh was born and raised in Northern California. She graduated from Sonoma State with a B.S. in biology in 2014, then worked for a year as a veterinary technician before going back to school. She continued to work as a technician through her schooling until earning her DVM from UC Davis in 2019. Following graduation, she did a small animal rotating internship in Walnut Creek where she learned her passion for emergency medicine. She has been solely an emergency veterinarian since. Taylor now lives in the Bay Area with her fiance and their 2 cats, Jarvis and Boo, as well as their dog, Eros. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, camping, exercising, checking out new breweries/wineries, reading, and binge-watching Netflix shows. Sara Rose, BVMS Born and raised in Lafayette, Dr. Sara Rose grew up hiking with her dogs, riding horses, and exploring the many beautiful open spaces of the Bay Area. After graduating from U.C Davis with a degree in Avian Sciences, Dr. Rose worked as a veterinary technician at a small animal emergency hospital in the Bay Area, which solidified her life-long desire to be a small animal clinician. Dr. Rose attended the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine and then completed a one year small animal rotating internship in Boston. Following completion of her internship, Dr. Rose has worked as an emergency clinician in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Northern California. Dr. Rose is thrilled to be working back in her hometown. In her free time, she still loves to hike with her dogs, and she also loves birdwatching, traveling, spending time with her wife and two small children, and working in her ever-expanding garden. Annie Bond, DVM Dr. Annie Bond grew up in the East Bay Area and earned both her undergraduate and veterinary degrees at UC Davis. She discovered her passion for emergency medicine during her rotating internship at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in New Jersey, and is excited to continue in the emergency field. Her veterinary interests include critical stabilization, surgery, and trauma. In her spare time, Dr. Bond enjoys exercising, taking care of her many plants, socializing with family and friends, exploring the Bay Area, and spending time with her beloved pets. Specialty Veterinarians Tim Sellmeyer, DVM, DACVS – SA (Surgery) Dr. Sellmeyer grew up in Missouri, spending his early years in St. Louis before moving to Craig, where he attended high school. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, hiking, camping, cheering on his Mizzou Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, and St. Louis Blues, and being towed around on a stand-up paddleboard by his German Shorthaired Pointer, Archibald. He is also particularly proud to coach and play on Pacific Veterinary Hospital’s softball team, The PacVet Scrubs.

For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of some of the questions we are asked most frequently and their answers. If you would like more information or have any questions that we haven’t included here, please reach out to us directly and our friendly staff will be happy to help with any information that you need! Are you open 24 hours for emergencies? Yes! Our hospital is staffed with emergency doctors and nurses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even on Holidays. We always have a doctor on-premises ready to care for your pet in an emergency. Our specialty services are available Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm. Is an appointment required to be seen by the Emergency Service? No. An appointment or referral is not necessary to see our emergency doctors. We do our very best to have your pet seen by a doctor as soon as possible, and it is always helpful to call ahead so our doctors and staff can be prepared to treat your pet. Is an appointment required to be seen by the Specialty service: Yes. An appointment allows our team to prepare for your visit by allowing our team to review your pet’s medical records and history, and to ensure there is dedicated time for your pet’s consultation and care. Do I need a referral to see a specialist? Although many family veterinarians will refer pets to our services, a referral is not required to schedule a consultation with our specialists. We will contact your family veterinarian to obtain any pertinent medical records before your appointment and keep them informed of the care your pet received. What can I expect during my pet’s visit? When you arrive, please come into the lobby and register with one of our client service representatives and take a seat. If you prefer to remain in your car—or if you need assistance moving your pet—you can call our main number and let our client service team know that you are here but are in your car. A client service representative will ask you a few questions about your visit and get you registered. If you are here for emergency treatment, a nurse will be out quickly to triage your pet; if your pet is stable and can wait to be treated, your pet will stay with you until it is your turn to be seen. If not, we will bring your pet into our treatment area for immediate stabilizing care and a member of our team will be out to speak to you in short order to involve you in decision making with regard to treatment. When it is your turn to be seen, a nurse will come out and escort you and your pet to an exam room. Your pet will have its weight and vital signs (temperature, pulse, respiratory rate) taken by the nurse, and the nurse will also obtain a history of your pet’s current medical issue. Our doctors will review any medical records, test results, and X-rays provided by your family veterinarian and complete a thorough physical examination of your pet. Our doctor will then discuss the physical examination findings and make any diagnostic tests and/or treatment recommendations. A treatment plan and estimate will be created and reviewed with you prior to proceeding any further. How much will it cost? While the costs for diagnostic tests, treatment, and procedures vary greatly, you will always be presented with a line item estimate for your approval prior to moving forward with treatment after your initial examination or consultation. The prices for those examinations and consultations are as follows: Emergency – $160 Surgery – $200 Internal Medicine – $250 Oncology – $250 Neurology – $250 What forms of payment are accepted? We accept cash, debit cards, VISA, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and we also offer Care Credit for those interested in pursuing financing. Except for those paying with Care Credit, full payment is required at the time of service. Can I visit my hospitalized pet? We are happy to make visitation arrangements while your pet is hospitalized. Is your office wheelchair accessible? Yes. While our hospital is multi-level, our main entrance is wheelchair accessible and we have an elevator to take you to the lower levels if you have a patient hospitalized there. We also have an accessible restroom on the upper level (our main entrance is on the upper level). My pet already had diagnostic tests done with my family veterinarian. Why do you recommend repeating the same tests? There are many reasons for repeating diagnostic tests. Sometimes, an additional view/angle is needed on X-rays, or we may need to analyze trends of bloodwork to evaluate for disease progression or improvement. Our veterinarians will discuss with you why these tests are recommended. Do you see exotic pets (household rodents, rabbits, birds, reptiles, amphibians, small livestock animals)? If your pocket pet, bird, or reptile requires emergency care, please call ahead so our staff can check with the emergency doctor on-duty if they can help with that particular type of animal. There are other nearby hospitals that do treat exotics; we recommend that you call these hospitals before your visit to ensure availability: Veterinary Emergency Group in San Ramon – ( 925-718-7771 ) Oasis Veterinary Hospital in Martinez – ( 925-954-8087 ) Chabot Veterinary Clinic in Hayward – ( 510-538-2330 ) – rabbit and small rodents I found a sick or injured domestic or wild animal.
