Our unparalleled services and detail-oriented approach demands equally exceptional and passionate veterinarians—or, as we like to say, a whole new breed of veterinary professionals.

Whom you trust with your pet’s care matters, and genuine trust requires a relationship built on more than a name tag and a white coat. You’ll find that all our Dr. Treat veterinarians are dedicated professionals who love and care for your pet like their own. Dr. Alex Lee, one of these veterinarians, steps into the hot seat and answers our character-revealing questions.

‍

Where are you from, and how did you land in the Bay Area?

Answer: I was born in Southern California, but grew up in Shanghai, China. I moved to the Bay area after graduating from university, because I had friends who lived in the area.

‍

Why did you decide to join the Dr. Treat team?

A: I was drawn to the practice because of its wonderful team and the opportunity to learn and become a well-rounded veterinarian.

‍

Do you have any furry family members?

A: Currently, I do not, but I did grow up with a golden retriever whom I will always hold close to my heart.

‍

Can you tell us about your human family members?

A: My parents still reside in Shanghai, but they do their best to visit me and my brother, who lives in New York City.

‍

What is your favorite food?

A: Hotpot! It always reminds me of home and is a fun activity to share with friends.

‍

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

A: I enjoy cooking, trying new restaurants, hiking, and playing sports with friends.

‍

Do you have any special talents?

A: I can move my ears and juggle.

‍

What is your favorite travel destination or somewhere you would like to go?

A: One day, I hope to visit Switzerland.

‍

What would you like to accomplish in the next five years (personally and professionally)?

A: Personally, I want to take my parents on a nice trip with my own money. Professionally, I want to provide the best care possible as a general practitioner and be skilled in every area, from diagnostics to surgery.

‍

What is your biggest fear?

A: I cannot watch a horror movie without screaming and feeling as if I’ve run a marathon. My friends say that my screaming always makes the horror movie scarier.

‍

What is your favorite binge-worthy television show or Netflix series?

A: My top recommendations would include “The Crown,” “Workin’ Moms,” “All of Us Are Dead,” and “Sex Education.”

‍

How do you decompress and relax after a long day?

A: I like to eat a nice dinner followed by a hot shower.

‍

Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?

A: I am slightly more introverted than extroverted. Hanging out with people is always fun, but I am also perfectly content to entertain myself at home.

‍

What is something about you that would surprise people?

A: That I am an introvert.

‍

Where is your favorite place to spend a Saturday evening?

A: Hanging out with friends and playing board games or watching TV.

‍

What do you never leave home without?

A: I always bring a bag—even if it’s only a short trip to the post office.
