Meet Orkid! She’s a veterinary doctor from Iran who’s currently working her way toward getting licensed in the U.S.—and we’re lucky to have her on the team at Woodland Hills Pet Clinic. Before moving to the States in December 2023, Orkid was diving into a PhD program in animal reproduction biotechnology (yep, she’s pretty amazing).

Her love for animals started early—like, really early. At just two years old, she met her horse Kiki, who quickly became her best friend and the reason she chose a life of caring for animals. Since then, it’s been her mission to help as many furry (and not-so-furry) friends as she can.

When she’s not at the clinic, Orkid loves dancing, playing games, and still has that competitive spark from her high school basketball days. She brings good vibes, big heart energy, and a passion for animals that shines through in everything she does.
