Meet Our Doctors

Marine Lugo

Dr. Marine Lugo was born and raised in San German, Puerto Rico, and obtained her Bachelor’s in Biomedical Sciences from the Interamerican University in 2013.

Marines have a particular interest in animal behavior and believe that physical and emotional well-being are just as vital to pets as they are to us humans! She also likes farming animals and producing medicine. Whether they are members of our family or valuable sources of subsistence, farm animals are an important part of our lives and deserve the best care.

In her spare time, Marine enjoys spending time with her wife and dog (Milo), hiking through Oregon’s many forest trails, and running.
