We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Heather Kovacevich (“Dr. Kovac”) has joined the staff at The Drake Center! She is a wonderful addition to our veterinary team. Please help us extend a warm welcome!

Dr. Kovac received her doctor of veterinary medicine degree from the University of Illinois in 2004. She then moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where she worked in a small animal hospital for seven years. She was born and raised in Southern California and moved back to the area in 2011, when she joined The Drake Center for Veterinary Care.

Dr. Kovac is married and the mother of two children. She enjoys dancing, reading, hiking, cooking, volunteering at her church and her kids’ school and spending time with her family. She shares her home with a mixed breed dog named Asia whom she adopted while in veterinary school.
