Dr. Chalaporn Hathaidharm

We are proud to welcome Dr. Hathaidharm to Arguello Pet Hospital! 
Read her biography below: 

I am originally from southern California, and am looking forward to making the San Francisco Bay Area my permanent home and being a part of this wonderfully diverse community. 

I graduated with honors from UC San Diego with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a double minor in sociology and cognitive science.  I briefly worked in industry as a computer scientist at a startup company, went to graduate school, and eventually made the decision to switch career paths to pursue my childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian.

After gaining experience as a volunteer at an animal shelter and working as a veterinary assistant, I was accepted to Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine.  I was inducted into the Phi Zeta Honor Society and graduated with honors in 2010. I completed a small animal medicine and surgery rotating internship at Garden State Veterinary Specialists in New Jersey in 2011, and an internal medicine specialty internship at the Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center of Westbury in New York in 2012. Before joining the team at Arguello Pet Hospital, I worked as a general practitioner and emergency relief veterinarian in California’s Central Valley.

My professional interests include internal medicine, critical care, ultrasonography, endoscopy, and laparoscopic procedures.  In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, birding, reading, photography, watching documentaries, and am enthusiastically taking piano lessons as an adult student.  I live with two cats, Cozy (a hurricane Ike rescue) and Minichuf.
