As many of you know, due to our increasing caseload of emergency cases, it has been necessary for us to prioritize those daily appointments for the pets we see, and consequently, it is sometimes difficult for you to make a same-day or same-week appointment for non-emergency problems with your pets.

To all of my wonderful clients (and to all of their beloved furry friends), It is with some sadness and a good amount of nostalgia, that I'm writing to inform you that I have resigned from my position as veterinarian and medical director at Bishop Ranch. After 12 wonderful years, I have decided to move on to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with my family.

As the number of pet owners with insurance has increased, so has our demand for claim submission.

Although we do not have a re-opening date, we are planning on providing clients a monthly update on our status of reopening. Based on safety guidelines, number of staff vaccinated we are hopeful we can open in the next few months.

Join us as we celebrate Dr. Larry Gilman retiring from an extraordinary 37-year career as a veterinarian by walking, running, or swimming a 5K with your dog, your friends, and/or your family members to benefit a rescue close to Dr. Gilman's heart: Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue.
