Meet Our Staff 

MEET THE DOCTOR

Dr. Kim Haddad is the owner of the Redwood Pet Hospital. She took ownership of the practice in January 2007, and is actively building on the hospital’s legacy of excellence. Dr. Haddad grew up in the Bay Area. She received her undergraduate degree in Economics at the University of California, San Diego, and went on to a successful Wall Street career.

  Meet our Practice Manager

Jayme started working as a receptionist at Redwood Pet Hospital in 2005. After being here for a couple of years Dr. Haddad, the practice owner, offered her a special position that would definitely be a challenge. Jayme became Dr. Haddad’s personal assistant, right hand man (or woman in this case) accountant, advertisement manager, PR person, fill in reception when needed…..but more than that she became a valued and reliable friend. Not just for Dr. Haddad but for everyone she meets. Jayme is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

Most recently Jayme has taken over management of our K-9 Social Club and Redwood Pet Hospital. The K-9 Social Club is our very own answer to our clients many needs. You can find, puppy/dog training, professional grooming, doggy daycare, and a plethora of retail specialty and veterinary foods and toys. Jayme’s ability to wear many hats would floor most people but she accepts the challenges with a smile and ends every sentence with, “Okay, have a GREAT day! “

Jayme lives in Foster City with her beautiful baby girl, Taylor, and her new husband Eddy. Yeah……in between all the jobs she does she found time to get married.

Meet Our Veterinary Nurses

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz and has an awesome wife and two great kids supporting him as he follows his dream of becoming a Veterinarian.

Monique- Assistant Veterinary Nurse

Monique was born and raised in San Franscico. She loves animals and wants to make a difference, which is the reason she started working in the Veterinary field in 2007. She joined our team in late 2010 working at Redwood Pet Hospital as an assistant veterinary nurse and our San Mateo K9 Social Club as a doggie daycare associate. Monique has worked in a veterinary hospital and loves what she does. In her spare time she loves being with her three children and boyfriend.

Meet Our Veterinary Reception

Mikaela-Lead Veterinary Receptionist

Mikaela first started working with animals in 2002 at two other hospitals on the peninsula. After a five year stint crunching numbers in accounting, she joined our team in the summer of 2010 as our lead reception-extraordinaire, and general get-it-done woman. You will never find her in one place, as she bounces around the whole hospital, from treatment to x-ray, pharmacy to kennels, helping with whatever is needed. Always looking for something new to do and learn, the messy things that may make other cringe being her favorite. She even cancelled her gym membership because she gets enough cardio running up and down the hallways eleven hours a day. She recently asked for more of a challenge, and has started helping out at our San Mateo K9 Social Club. Working long hours, she still attends classes full time pursing her nursing career. Whatever she may be up to, dancing down the hallways, she will always be accompanied by the gruesome twosome, Nala & Ramsey. 

Megan-Veterinary Receptionist 

Hello everyone!

I grew up in Fremont where I always had a fascination with animals. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have a dog, so I would wander my neighborhood hoping to find a stray dog I could play with while I found its owner. My friends didn't live near by, so my cats were the lucky ones who got to dress up and play "tea time" with me. I received my first dog for my 12th birthday, and that began my love affair with dogs.

In High school, I took our communities ROP course In veterinary assisting. Once completed I worked as a technician for a vet in fremont for 3 years. I continued to go to school, and ended up working as an Operating Room Technician at Kiaser for a short time. After that I taught Pre-school, and worked before and after school childcare for 8 years.

After leaving teaching I really wanted to do something else that I was passionate about, so I returned to my first love, animals. I think that the relationship between a human and an animal is amazing. Animals don't judge you, they don't care what you have in your wallet, and they offer what most people cannot; unconditional love and loyalty. I understand how much these creatures mean to us, how they are our families, and that because of all they give to us, they are deserving of the best we can do for them. I am very happy to be on the team at Redwood Pet Hospital, and look forward to meeting all of you and your furry (and sometimes not-so-furry) family members.

Meet Our Boarding Associate

Carlos loves hanging out with the boarders, and if he's not in the back playing with the animals, then you can usually find him running errands or fixing something broken.
