Coming June 2026!

Dr. Christine Sesanto is a residency-trained veterinary oncologist who grew up in the beautiful coastal town of Pacific Grove, California. She completed her undergraduate training in Animal Science at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, before earning her veterinary degree from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

Following a rotating internship at VCA West Los Angeles, Dr. Sesanto returned to the University of Edinburgh to complete a combined companion animal oncology residency and Master of Science degree.

She then spent two years working in England, followed by a year in Brisbane, Australia, where she established and managed a new oncology service across three referral hospitals. After more than a decade living and working abroad, she is excited to be returning to her home state of California.

Dr. Sesanto has particular interests in targeted drug therapies, palliative care, and education. She is passionate about helping pet owners make informed treatment decisions and supporting referring veterinarians in the management of oncology patients. Her clinical approach focuses on thoughtful, compassionate care while prioritising quality of life and building meaningful relationships with pets and their families.

Outside of work, Christine enjoys travelling, linocut printmaking, scuba diving, foraging for mushrooms, and spending time with her fox red Labrador, Fynn.
