Dr. Felipe Rivera Cortez
Dr. Felipe Rivera Cortez has been around all kinds of animals (cows, goats, chickens, cats, dogs) since he could barely walk. He started his veterinary medicine career as a shelter technician at the Arizona Humane Society, but it was when he joined AVECCC as a technician assistant (and later on technician) that he fell in love with Emergency Medicine. He has a big passion for assisting with non-English speaking clients, since Spanish was his first language. He has a big interest in emergency medicine, anesthesia/pain management, and genetics and hopes to obtain residency in ECC following his internship year.
