After completing an undergraduate degree in biology from University of California, San Diego, Dr. Lacey LaVigna earned her Veterinary degree at St. Matthew's School of Veterinary Medicine and completed her clinical rotations at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She was pleased to return to California to complete a small animal rotating internship at East Bay Veterinary Specialists in Walnut Creek and has worked in the Bay Area ever since. She spent many years in the rescue and nonprofit area before coming to The County Vet.

Dr. Lacey approaches Veterinary medicine with an understanding that all systems are part of a whole. Wellness has many layers; it is interconnected with past experiences, nutrition, genetics and family life. When Lacey cares for an animal, she believes in looking at the needs of the individual. She works to apply all of her acquired skills and knowledge in order to tend to the needs of each pet and their family.

Growing up on a ranch in West Petaluma, Lacey was exposed to many species of animals early in life. This sparked her love of animals and her interest in their welfare. As an avid horse lover, she spent summers involved in 4-H and Pony Club programs, and is a Bronze medal dressage rider. In her free time, she can be found learning about indigenous medicine practices, backpacking, and singing with her ukulele.
