Dr. Aldoretta graduated from Kansas State University in 2015. After graduation she underwent two years of additional training with a focus on emergency and critical care medicine. After several years working with small animals in general practice and emergency settings, she pursued a third year long internship in zoo, exotic and wildlife medicine. She has worked in a variety of fields including small animal general practice, wildlife, zoo and with non-traditional (exotic) pets. While she loves working with all animals, Dr. Aldoretta is especially passionate about non-traditional pets. In her free time she enjoys exploring California, amateur birdwatching, reading fantasy novels and spending time with her fiancé Chip, her German Shepard mix Maya and her two pigeons Hubert and Elara.
