Fiona Kilby, DVM Dept. of Cardiology

Dr. Fiona Kilby was born and raised in Vista, California. Her veterinary journey has taken her from Northern California to London and Dallas, and she’s happy to be back home in Southern California for this next chapter.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis, where her interests included equine medicine and pathology.

She went on to attend the Royal Veterinary College in London, where she discovered her passion for cardiology and a new direction for her career. Following graduation, she completed a small animal rotating internship at VCA Dallas Animal Specialty Hospital, building on her veterinary education through hands-on clinical experience.

Now back in her native Southern California, Dr. Kilby is excited to pursue advanced training in veterinary cardiology, deepen her knowledge, and further develop her skills in a field she loves.

Dr. Kilby lives in Altadena with her husband and their beloved poodle mix, Veda. Outside of work, she enjoys exploring new places through travel, settling in with a good documentary, and spending time in the saddle horseback riding.
