Local veterinarian Dr. Theresa Ortega of Veterinary Medical and Surgical Group is making quite a splash on a national level. She was just named one of six finalists for the national “My Vet’s the Best” contest.
The top veterinarian vote getter wins $1,000 for animals who desperately need medical treatment.
The “My Vet’s the Best” contest recognizes outstanding veterinarians across the country that have made a positive impact on their patients and local communities. Dr. Ortega was nominated by Janet Lapins, owner of “Beau,” a Labradoodle, who the veterinarian diagnosed and treats for Addison’s disease.
“Dr. Ortega’s concern and compassion for her patients far exceeds those of any other vet I have met in several years,” Lapins said in her nomination.
Pets Best, a leading U.S. pet insurance provider based in Boise, Idaho, is sponsoring this national contest.
