Dr. Chris Stone
I attended veterinary school at Michigan State University, graduated in 1978, and moved immediately to California with my husband. I have been in practice in Alameda County since then, and have been here at Mission Valley Veterinary Clinic since 1994. In my spare time, I have been president of the local county veterinary association, and also president of a national organization, the Association for Women Veterinarians Foundation. I currently am Awards Chair for that group. At home my husband and I currently have two teenage girls, cats, chinchillas, birds, and fish. I enjoy seeing pocket pets (with fur) as well as dogs and cats at work.

Dr. Cynthia Edelman
After being born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I went abroad to Scotland to attend Veterinary School. I returned to California where I have been in practice for 11 years. Four legged residents at home include 2 cats and 2 dogs (Rottweiler and German Shepard), plus the no-legged ornamental fish-which keep increasing numbers by the week it seems. I thoroughly enjoy treating both dogs and cats, followed closely by exotic birds, though I am currently without a feathered companion inside the house.

Dr. Carolyn Reed
I grew up in Pennsylvania and went to veterinary school at the University of Pennysylvania. After hearing stories about California from my grandmother, who grew up in Pasadena, I decided to see the state myself. I did an internship in Small Animal Medicine & Surgery at UC Davis and practiced at Grimmer Boulevard Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Metcalfe until his retirement. I did relief work in the area until joining Dr. Stone and Dr. Edelman at MVVC in 2005. Jack, my dog and cats Ruby & Oliver keep things lively at home.
