Dr. Alcorn
and his friend, Emma.
Growing up in Denver, Colorado, at age eight I witnessed my dog Blackie being hit and killed by an out of control car in my front yard. I decided then to dedicate my life to helping family pets. My wife, Nancy, our four children, and I moved to Temecula in 1991 where we established our small animal and exotic practice. Dante and Amelie, our two cats, now run our lives! We enjoy visits from our “grand pets” Lola the dog and Emmett the pig, as well as our “real” grandchildren. I am thankful to be part of the talented and dedicated team that share the same passion for animals and for providing the best veterinary care. I am honored to serve our clientele and their beloved pets. Welcome to Care Animal Hospital!

Dr. Miriam Flock, BVMS MRCVS
and her friends Koda & Harris
Born and raised in Pleasanton, California, animals have always been a part of my life, starting with the family cats and dog. I joined 4-H at an early age, where I had the opportunity to care for animals of all shapes and sizes, from goats to horses to guinea pigs. During my 4-H years, my love for all creatures great and small inspired me to pursue veterinary medicine with the goal of working with exotics.
I received a B.S. in Animal Science from Cal Poly, SLO and then continued with my veterinary studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
I am glad to be back in California and look forward to starting my journey with the Care Animal Hospital team to help your pets live their best lives.
Lisa B.
and her friend, Chief.
I started my career in the veterinary field in 1996 as a kennel assistant. Within 2 years of dedicated hard work and a sincere thirst for knowledge, I became a full veterinary technician. Since then, I’ve spent time in all different types of practices from small to large and 24 hour emergency, collecting as much knowledge as possible.
As a child, I spent most of my time trying to understand and help animals, from my own dear pets to the wild life surrounding my home.
I fully believe that God has placed this passion in my heart and blessed me with becoming part of the “Care family.” I strongly feel I’ve finally found a place to call home and where they all really do Care.
Tricia, RVT
and her friend, Noah.
Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work with animals. As a child I had three horses named Razz, Twinkie, and Frolic who were part of my inspiration to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
I have always had a love for animals and I am currently going to school to get my degree and become a Registered Veterinary Technician.
I share my home with my two lovable fur-babies: Zoey, a 20 year old domestic shorthair; and Noah, a rambunctious, 3 month old domestic medium hair. My recent move to Murrieta brought me to Care Animal Hospital and I am so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful team.

Londyn
and her friend, Flynn.
Since I was young I have always had a love for all types of animals, but it was not until I started working at Care Animal Hospital that I knew I wanted to pursue a career in this field.
It has been such a great experience seeing a wide variety of animals each day, and assisting in caring for them is very rewarding. I enjoy working alongside the rest of our staff and hope I can take what I learn and become a veterinary technician.
I currently live with my two kitties Flynn and Nala, and hope to adopt more animals needing homes in the future.

Julia Nagy
I have had a love for animals since I can remember, and it’s a dream come true that I am able to work and help them in any way possible. Just knowing that I was able to make a difference in someone’s life brings me an immense level of personal joy. I have only been doing receptionist work for the last two years, but I absolutely love being part of this team and I am so fortunate that I got this opportunity to learn and grow. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn something new.
When I am not working, I like to hang out and play with my own kitties: Artemis, Luna and Binx. And when I am not spending time with animals, I like to play video games, watch movies, write sad poetry, stargaze, daydream and I have a penchant for makeup/beauty/cosplay that I like to use as an outlet to express myself artistically.
Misty Carrillo
I have been passionate about veterinary medicine since I was a little girl. I started at a small practice in 2012 in Orange County while going to college at California State Univeristy of Fullerton. I learned all the basic fundamentals of working in a hospital and it made me fall even more in love with this field. I eventually got promoted to lead technician and manager. After 8 years with that practice, I was ready for new beginnings and growth to expand my knowledge. I am so grateful to lead the team at Care Animal Hospital. I am so excited to work with exotics!
In my free time, I love spending time with my 3 children. I love being a mom. We have 3 dogs (Luna, Lily and Lola), a cat named Snow, and a chicken named Twizzler. We love being outdoors, the beach, Disneyland, shopping and spending time with family. We hope to own a ranch some day!
