Meet Our Staff

Dr. Andy Anderson, who only shares a last name with Dr. Julie Anderson, is originally from Portland, Oregon but has lived all over the country including Alaska, Wyoming, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and New Jersey. While his home address changed often, one constant was and still is his love of animals and the natural world. As a child, Andy would look for reptiles and insects outdoors to bring home and care for, foreshadowing his future as a veterinary professional for all types of animals.

He received his veterinary degree from Oklahoma State University in 2013 where he studied with a special emphasis on exotic animal medicine and surgery. Not satisfied with just taking classes on exotic medicine, he spent his free time in the exotic ward of the teaching hospital observing and learning as much as he could.

Dr. Anderson became interested in pain management after realizing that many veterinary patients have undiagnosed and untreated pain. This led to his becoming a certified veterinary pain practitioner (CVPP), a very rigorous five year program involving hundreds of hours of continuing education, writing of case studies, and a final examination. During his pain certification process he also became a certified veterinary medical acupuncturist (CVMA). These two certifications, in addition to his excellent standard of general medicine and surgery have given him the knowledge and skill set to provide unparalleled, individualized pain relief and comprehensive care to all species. Shiloh Vet is proud to have Dr. Anderson as the only certified veterinary pain practitioner in the entire L.A. metro area.

When not at work, Dr. Anderson is a hobbyist nature photographer and enjoys spending time outdoors, often with his husband Jason and their dog Finn, and cultivating his impressive collection of houseplants and orchids.

Dr. Lynsey Rosen is so excited to be back in Los Angeles with her friends and family. She is from Sherman Oaks, and is looking forward to reintegrating into the community she loves.

Growing up, she was surrounded by animals as an avid horseback rider and volunteer with several wildlife rescue organizations. She worked in animal-centered jobs starting in her teenage years and through college while receiving top honors for her Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz (Go Banana Slugs!).

During veterinary school at St. Matthew’s University in the Cayman Islands and North Carolina State University, she participated in sea turtle research and wildlife rescue for aquatic animals. Her post graduate training included a rigorous yearlong internship in small and exotic animal medicine and surgery at the University of Tennessee, followed by an additional year of training in the extremely competitive field of companion exotic animal and zoological medicine and surgery at Oklahoma State University’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences.

Because of her extensive knowledge and training, she was able to take a coveted position as a Faculty member at North Carolina State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine where she worked for the years prior to returning to California. To this point, her years in San Diego have been spent working in private practice, treating all animals, including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.

Dr. Rosen’s interest in medicine and love of animals was powerful motivation for her to embark on and complete several years of rigorous education and post graduate training. Her academic and professional accomplishments are impressive in their own right, but it is her dedication to her patients, clients, and veterinary medicine more broadly that make her an exceptional veterinarian and beloved member of the profession.

As an exotic animal veterinarian, she understands the importance of comprehensive care for her patients, and there is no better way to accomplish this than with a mobile practice. It allows an even closer relationship between the doctor, patient, and client, so that all aspects of heath can be addressed.

Wellness comes from a combination of environment, diet, lifestyle, and medical care, and Dr. Rosen is passionate about treating the entire patient. She has a particular interest in pot-bellied pigs, and is currently working on a companion pig medicine textbook. She also enjoys teaching and lecturing on the subject, and helping new vets learn how to see these fun pets in their practices.

In her free time, Dr. Rosen spends her time with their daughter, Charlotte, and their fur babies. Dr. Rosen decided to name their new practice after Shiloh, her first dog, because she believes that every animal deserves to be treated with the best possible care, just like her own pets.

Breanne has been in the customer service field since 2003 focusing on Veterinary Customer Service since 2008.

Breanne currently shares her home with her husband and young daughter along with her pitbull Luna, and Chihuahua Alex.

Melissa joined the veterinary field in 2011 and joined the Shiloh Veterinary Hospital team in 2019.

In addition to her many fur babies, Melissa shares her home with a son who is her “mini-me” who shares her love for animals, and Michael who is learning to love all the animals she brings home. Melissa’s favorite part of her job includes surgery and working with the farm animals/exotics and she loves working with all of our rescues.

I am lucky to be working in this field, from the East Coast to the West Coast. Every day I hear the most interesting and funniest stories about clients and their pets. Who wouldn't want this job? I have chosen this profession for this reason, I love animals and pet parents. I have been blessed to have been doing this for many years, and hopefully for many more to come.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from working in rescue and sanctuaries, to specializing in wolf rescue for the last 8 years. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Animal Behavior and am passionate about understanding animals and helping them thrive. While wolves will always be my favorite, I have a soft spot for all creatures big and small! I’m excited to continue growing my veterinary skills and learning something new every day while providing compassionate care to my patients.
