Dr. Hai Le-Nguyen

Mobile Vet Consultant and Orthopedic Surgeon

Dr. Le-Nguyen graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. He completed an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at UC Davis. Being a general practitioner at local veterinary hospitals, over the years, Dr. Le-Nguyen acquired a special interest in dentistry, soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries.

Upon seeing pets not being able to get the surgeries they need due to pet owner financial constraints, Dr. Le-Nguyen sets out to receive advanced continued education and surgery training. He participates and collaborates with other surgeons and colleagues to hone in on these surgical skills–using the most up to date techniques and standards.

Today, Dr. Le-Nguyen is a veterinarian who is able to provide his surgery services not only in Sacramento, but in surrounding cities. He is able to offer these surgeries to pet owners and local shelters who would otherwise be unable to afford these surprise emergency and complex surgery costs. Pets are getting the treatments they need to live healthier lives and shelter pets are given a second chance to find a new home.

Robert

Veterinary Assistant

Hello! My name is Robert Leatham. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science with a specialization in Companion Animals from UC Davis. Ever since I was young, I’ve been passionate about caring for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. This early experience ignited my interest in the veterinary field, and I’ve been working toward my dream of becoming a veterinarian. Currently, I’m fortunate to be part of the dedicated team at Summer Hills Veterinary Hospital.

When I’m not at work, I love spending quality time with my two feline companions, Bander and Nibbler. Additionally, I have a few hobbies that keep me busy during my free time: baking, watching movies, and indulging in video games.

Mackenzie

Customer Service representative

Hi! My name is Mackenzie Busch and I have the pleasure of working as part of Summer Hill’s front desk staff.
I have loved animals all my life and any excuse to work with them or spend time with them, I jumped on it! Four years ago, I started volunteering with a local cat rescue called Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue and it has brought immeasurable joy to my life. During that time, I have placed over 60 kittens in loving furever homes. My amazing kitty Billy was one of those foster kittens but I couldn’t bear to part with him. There’s just something about those flame point Siamese!

I am very thankful to Summer Hill’s and the opportunity to work with animals and this amazing team!
