Dr. Le, DVM, MPH
Biography
Dr. Le is a Massachusetts native who earned her Bachelor of Science in Pre-Veterinary Science with a minor in Natural Resources Conservation from UMass Amherst. She earned her veterinary degree at the University of Missouri in 2023 while pursuing a Master of Public Health with a Veterinary Concentration.
She completed a small animal rotating internship at a private practice in the Greater Boston area. Then she moved to Illinois to pursue specialty training in Zoological Companion Animals, where she oversaw client-owned exotic pets in primary, referral, and emergency care settings. There, she also gained experience providing preventive and emergency care for three local zoos, as well as supervising the care of injured and orphaned native wildlife presented to the Wildlife Medical Clinic (a veterinary student-run facility). Eventually, Dr. Le would like to become board-certified within the American College of Zoological Medicine (Companion animal).
Within the zoological species, she loves working with reptiles and has a special interest in endoscopy, diagnostic imaging, and analgesia. However, she holds a special place in her heart for caring for all breeds of cats.
Outside the hospital, Dr. Le enjoys reading, crocheting, taking care of her houseplants, exploring national parks, and hanging out with her cats (Greg, Walter, Eleanor, and Alfred).
Dr. Ferrer, Veterinarian
Biography
Dr. Ferrer is from Miami, Florida, and earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Florida. He received his bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Ecology & Conservation and has continued to pursue his passion for exotic animals and wildlife throughout his veterinary career.
His primary professional interests include exotic animal medicine, emergency and critical care, and end-of-life care. Dr. Ferrer enjoys the unique challenges that each species presents and is committed to providing compassionate, individualized care for every patient while helping clients feel informed and supported during every stage of their pet’s life.
Birds are his favorite species, and he shares his home with his loud, bossy sun conure, Bacardi, who keeps life entertaining every day.
When Dr. Ferrer isn’t at the hospital, he enjoys spending time at the beach, going on nature trails, exploring new restaurants, and traveling whenever he has the opportunity. He also enjoys staying active outdoors and is always looking for his next adventure.
Dr. Ferrer is excited to become part of the community and looks forward to building lasting relationships with clients while caring for their beloved pets whether they have feathers, fur, scales, or anything in between.

Five Things Dr. Hulls Would Like You To Know About Him:

Biography
Dr. Hulls earned his veterinary degree in 1990 from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, where he also attended undergraduate school. Although born in Montana, Dr. Hulls considers himself a native Buckeye, having grown up in Ohio, where his sister and parents still reside. Childhood was full of country living and lots of animals. Interaction with cattle, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, raccoons, orphan fawns, and much more was the norm. An innate interest in science, medicine, and animals all drew him into the veterinarian profession. Upon graduation from vet school, he worked in rural western Ohio, making lots of farm calls along with treating companion animals in the clinic where he worked.
Practicing veterinary medicine at Pet Care felt natural and energizing. The attitude of providing high-quality medical and surgical care to patients with sincere compassion is at the heart of our hospital’s motives. The medicine and surgery of “exotics,” which are more popular than ever, have been at the forefront during the past 10 years of Dr. Hull’s practice. These formerly unconventional pets, which include birds, ferrets, rabbits, reptiles, and amphibians, are a large source of special interest to him. A wide variety of orthopedic repairs and soft tissue surgeries have long provided him with many rewards. However, special interests in exotics and surgery only help round out the basic joys of treating the conventional canine and feline patients from puppy and kittenhood through to their senior years.
Dr. Canals, Veterinarian
Dr. Le, Veterinarian
Dr. Piper, Associate Veterinarian
What Am I Passionate About?
I am a firm believer in the idea that the mouth is the gateway to the body and that good oral hygiene is integral to overall health. Veterinary dentistry is my passion, and my goal is for your pet to live a healthy/pain-free life with all of their teeth. A wise dentist once said, “You don’t have to brush your teeth…just the ones you want to keep.”
Five Things Dr. Piper Would Like You To Know About Him:
- My family is the most important part of my life, I center myself around them and enjoy every minute we get to spend together.
- I love veterinary dentistry and am hoping to pursue a specialty in the future.
- If I’m not in the clinic, I can often be found rock climbing in a local gym, with the hopes of one day climbing El Capitan in Yosemite.
- Who doesn’t love running 10+ miles in the mud, crawling over/under obstacles, and then getting a beer when you are finished….I try to do as many Tough Mudders and Spartan races as my schedule allows. I am always looking for partners, so let me know!
- Did you know I have my own brewing company (in name only)? While it’s been a while since I have made any beer, I do enjoy making and drinking it.
Dr. Harrington, Medical Director

Her fascination with their incredible ability to accept change and adapt to an ever-changing world propelled her into the world of veterinary medicine.

She strives to provide high-quality, compassionate care for both traditional and non-traditional pets and even has her own Instagram page @All_Things_Exotics, where she shares educational posts about exotic animal habitats, nutritional requirements, and life as a veterinarian.
She currently shares her home with a Frenchie, a pibble, a Jackson’s Chameleon, a Russian Tortoise, a Tomato Frog, and one very tolerant human who helps her take care of them. When there is free time, Dr. Harrington can be found enjoying time at the beach, reading contemporary fiction, trying out new vegetarian recipes, and sometimes rollerblading.
