My love for animals began in childhood, growing up around a variety of animals, including elephants, cows, dogs, and cats. My grandmother was my greatest inspiration; her compassion for animals, especially the stray and homeless animals she cared for, deeply influenced me. Her love for animals inspired me to pursue my Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) after her passing, turning that love into my lifelong commitment to veterinary medicine.
After gaining veterinary experience in India, I moved to the United States to pursue a master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies at Texas Tech University school of veterinary medicine, focusing on Animal Science and Veterinary Science. My research explored the effects of colostrum on beef calves. I joined Seven Oaks Veterinary Hospital in May 2025, where I continue to grow professionally and strengthen my clinical skills.
I am passionate about animal health, compassionate patient care, and continuously learning to provide the best possible care to every animal I meet.

Michelle Davis2023-11-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took a 3 wk old kitten in that was dropped off and she sounded like she possibly aspired milk before we got her. I was super worried for this sweet little girl and wanted to make sure I gave her the best chance!! I called pet urgent care and they were sooooo amazing!!! The front desk girl, Leonor, was so nice and helped to keep me less worried. Dr. Salpitra was great and explaining what I needed to look for and what to do to minimize any risk of her aspirating more. They helped work with my budget knowing that I just wanted to help this little kitten!!! They are all truly caring and definitely went beyond for us, which you don’t see as much these days!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!! Renee Parks2023-10-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were very compassionate and kind! Thank you Matthew Hernandez2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our dog was attacked by 3 other dogs. Doctor Salpietra was very, very kind. We felt good leaving her there. The whole staff took great care of her and us. Worth the cost. J Samuel Diehl2023-10-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were wonderfully kind and gentle with us and our needs for our Deedee's final hour. The center has all the little touches of care, of consideration, and kindness that our companions deserve. They spoke gently and warmly, and made a wretched time one of grace and love. Bingham-Bosio Family2023-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in with a sick kitty in tow. Jacquelyn at the front desk was already prepped and ready for me. They got my fur baby right back to smother her with care. The staff here was very helpful and caring. Cats can be pistols when anyone, let alone a stranger, handles them. But, without skipping a beat they targeted her problem, addressed it and had her back in my arms! Thanks guys! You’re what pet owners look for in a veterinary experience.
