| Veterinarians: |
Dr. Steve Aboulafia
Dr. Steven Aboulafia, DVM, hails from the Fairfax district of Los Angeles. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in zoology in June 1985, and his DVM degree in June, 1991, both from the renowned University of California-Davis.
"Dr. Steve" has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1991 and took over as owner of Veterinary Medical Center, Studio City in November, 1997. He was the first veterinarian to lead the Pet Therapy program at St. Josephs Hospital in Burbank. He has two pets of his own at home: "Misty", a 13 year old Black Labrador (a retired Seeing Eye dog), and "Napoleon", a 20 year old, domestic shorthair cat.
Dr. Aboulafia cites the relationships and friendships he has developed over the years with so many pet owners and pets as one of the most enjoyable aspects of his profession. He's a certified scuba diver who also enjoys and collects fine wines (Napa is way too close to UC Davis)….and from what we're told, he's an excellent cook as well!

Dr. Erwin David
 Dr. Erwin David, DVM, graduated cum laude from the University of Philippines College of Veterinary Medicine in 1977. He received his Master of Science degree in Veterinary Parasitology from Kansas State University in 1981. Soon after he joined the staff of Parker Pet Hospital, now known as Veterinary Medical Center Studio City. He's been here so long that Dr Aboulafia often quips, "Dr. David came with the furniture". In truth, Dr. David simply enjoys working here and meeting many wonderful people and helping them care for their companions -- several generations of them for some! He has kept his education current by attending yearly national conferences and local continuing education seminars.
Dr. David lives in North Hollywood with two domestic shorthaired cats named "Jeff" and "Seymour". He is an avid film buff, loves reading as well as collecting vintage snapshots. He has been a volunteer for Project Angel Food, a charity that prepares and delivers meals to the homebound, since 1994.
