The Redwood Team

Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Kim Rea is a native of Southern California. She received her Bachelor's degree from UC Davis and her DVM degree from Colorado State University. Since that time, she has worked for a Mobile Spay/Neuter clinic based in the LA area and served as the staff veterinarian at USC Medical School. She provided relief work at many hospitals around the South Bay Area before purchasing Redwood Animal Hospital in 2003. She enjoys the intimate atmosphere of a smaller family oriented practice. Her interests include dentistry, internal medicine and surgery, with a special interest in comfort care for older patients. She enjoys snowboarding, wakeboarding and beach volleyball in her free time.

Dr. Kelly Suyehara is a South Bay native from Torrance and received her Bachelor’s degree in Evolution and Ecology from UC Davis. She spent several years working as a technician at a local referral center while volunteering at the Marine Mammal Care Center at Fort MacArthur and the Los Angeles Zoo before attending the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. During her time there, she qualified to spend a Summer abroad working with the Uganda Wildlife Authority tracking lions, hyenas, and East African Buffalo for sample collection and disease surveillance further expanding her understanding of animal health and the idea of “One Medicine”. This life-changing experience inspired her to stay an extra year for additional education in Public Health and Zoonoses, Ecosystem Health, and Preventive Medicine before returning to her first love—companion animal general practice.

Having spent three years practicing medicine in Ventura County, she is very excited to be serving her home town and is 100% dedicated to delivering the best possible care for her patients with compassion and empathy. While she enjoys many facets of general practice, her special interests include Internal Medicine, Dermatology, Behavior, and Preventive Medicine.

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Suyehara enjoys spending time with her family—especially her husband Alex and son Dylan! She also enjoys being outdoors, reading, dancing, and Zumba. She has two cats named “Mazzy” and “Clash” and a rescue dog, "Rizzo".

Dr. Pirotto earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from UC Davis in 2000. Originally from San Francisco, she has been practicing Small Animal Medicine in the South Bay for most of her career, and started working at Redwood Animal Hospital in 2009. After a 1 year hiatus in 2016, she returned to Redwood and is delighted to be back with her patients, clients, and the Redwood Team. She has extensive experience in all areas of general practice, with special interests in Internal Medicine, Dermatology, and Geriatric Care. Dr. Pirotto is married, has three children, a lovable Labrador Retriever named "Albus", and a California Desert Tortoise named "Dinosaur". When she is not caring for your furry family members, she enjoys cooking, gardening, and spending time outdoors with her family.

Our Hospital Manager

Meghan is our Hospital Manager and Registered Veterinary Technician. She has been with Redwood since 2006 and is an absolute joy to be around. She and her husband have two beautiful children, as well as two rescued senior pups.

Meet Our Front Office Team

Adriana has been with us since 2008 and is our Lead Receptionist. Everyone, both staff and clients, love her to pieces! She has a lovely family of four (well, make that eight if you include her 4 legged pups!) Note: if anyone is a Disney fan, this girl is it!

Originally from Norwalk, CT, Mimi moved to CA in 1985 “for a few years” and has never left. Mimi started off as a client at Redwood Animal Hospital and decided she loved us so much that she joined our team in 2009 as our Inventory Coordinator! She has a passion for hiking and riding her bike to work as well as taking her dogs on long walks and cuddling with her kitties. She loves sports and going on vacations with her hubby.

Another cheery voice will greet you when calling Redwood. Meet Joyce! Her laugh is contagious and we love her experience and professionalism she provides. Thank you, Joyce!
Melanie is here! She joins our team with a sweet smile and great willingness to help. Don't let her quiet demeanor fool you, as she has a big personality and fun sense of humor under there!
If you can imagine someone with lots of great energy and a wonderful smile (under her mask), you'll have Ally! We are so happy to have her on our Redwood Team!
Meet Diane (AKA DeeDee). She's a wonderful addition to our front staff and absolutely LOVE's her kitties!!

Our Technician Team

Gilbert has been with Redwood since 2005. He is one of our Veterinary Assistants, with a beautiful wife and 3 wonderful children. He has a fantastic sense of humor and keeps us entertained daily! His special interest at the clinic is dentistry, and he assists the doctors during most dental procedures. He is also our "Go To" guy when anything breaks around the hospital!

Chelsea, our Lead RVT and technician supervisor, has been with us since September 2015. She has an infectious smile and complements our Redwood family perfectly. She enjoys her time off with her husband and their furry family, which consists of 2 beautiful huskies and a spoiled Calico cat named Pepper!

Although Alex has only been with us a short time, she fits in like she's been here for years! She's a quick learner and a great addition to our team!
Amber came to us with much experience ((and a great sense of humor :)) She knows how to liven up this place, no doubt! Thank you for bringing such great energy on board, Amber!
Katiana is also new to our vet assistant team and is a pleasure to work with. She is a quick learner and it's clear she cares deeply for this profession. Thank you!!

Our Kennel Support Team

This is Molly, our Kennel Supervisor. She is so enthusiastic and energetic, it's pretty much impossible not to smile when she's around. With her bubbly personality and willingness to help in any department, she wins the hearts of everyone.

​​​​​​​Bio coming soon

Meet Ivan, our Full Time Kennel Assistant. A gentle man with so much willingness to help in all departments. Thank you for being a part of our Redwood Family! And speaking of family, he and his lovely wife, just welcomed their second child (insert heart emoji here :)

Kelsey joined our Kennel Staff with a caring heart and gentle touch. She has a sweet, quiet personality, and is very kind with all four-legged beings!

Hello Marcelo! This guy can put a smile on everyones face! He is committed to his job(s) and always a pleasure to work with. Better hide the desserts, though, when he's around - he has a real sweet-tooth!
