Pet Rehabilitation- Lisa Draper, R.V.T., CCRA For over twenty years, Lisa has brought her love for animals into every one of her patients. After spending years as a veterinary surgical technician, the natural progression led her to obtain her CCRA (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant) certification. Having worked in several San Diego veterinary specialty clinics, Lisa understands how critical the recovery process is from surgery, trauma, and debilitative conditions and values the importance of the rehabilitation process. Lisa hopes to enhance the quality of life for all of her post surgical patients and feels that not enough pets are receiving physical rehabilitation after surgery. She believes the benefits of post surgical rehabilitation will allow pets to return to their optimum health and help to prevent future injuries.
