The doctors behind every visit.

Dr. Lisa Youn grew up in the small town of Greenville, MI. Her love for animals was apparent early on as she owned a menagerie of pets including lovebirds, cockatiels, rabbits, and hamsters. Her special interests include internal medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology, geriatric medicine, and working with rescues! In her free time, she likes collecting vinyl records, playing the ukulele, going to concerts, and nearly finishing craft projects. She lives in Hollywood with her cleft-lipped shih tzu named Kabu, and her sweet yet opinionated cat named Mr. Lee.

I originally grew up in the Los Angeles area and traveled up and down the coast before settling back in familiar territory. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, eating new foods, and spending time at home with family and my three cats.

Dr. Loo has been a staple in the Los Angeles vet community for 15 years and is the author of the critically acclaimed picture book “Perfect,” a heartwarming story about cat adoption. She is also the founder of Cat Therapy — a cat care and health website that provides tools and resources to raise a healthy and happy cat!

Fun fact: she and Dr. Chiang are internmates!

Dr. Jung is a brilliant veterinarian that practices emergency medicine at ACCESS Specialty Animal Hospital. We are blessed that she helps us out at Southpaw!

Dr. Hu is the founder of Varum Vet — an integrative housecall practice.

Dr. Hu's veterinary roots began early, bringing home stray animals that her parents graciously let her keep. She grew up on the East Coast as well as overseas in Taiwan, and after high school returned to the United States for college, graduating cum laude from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in Animal Physiology and Neuroscience. While applying to veterinary school, she worked in a research lab studying Alzheimer's disease and has published papers in academia. She earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota in 2007 and went on to complete a small animal internship at Advanced Veterinary Care Center in the South Bay, gaining extensive hands-on experience in conventional medicine across a wide range of species and conditions. She has worked at various ER, urgent care, GP and specialty hospitals all over Los Angeles the last 2 decades. In recent years, Dr. Hu has expanded her focus to include integrative medicine, inspired by her own health journey and cancer diagnosis.

Outside of work, Dr. Hu loves spending time with her husband, 3 children, and their 4 beloved fur babies.
