Masako has always had big dreams. She even drives a 12-passenger van with only one child! But who knows, she may see a giraffe or a herd of deer that need a ride somewhere. Masako realized the biggest dream of her life in 2020, by creating a community-focused, family owned veterinary hospital. This is the icing on the cake (remember, she likes food) to a career spent in service and animal care. For these reasons and so many more, Dr. Masako “The Squirrel” Mori is a Pet Health Hero and always answers the call!

Katherine “Jill of All Trades” ain’t scared of nothing! Scaly, squirmy, furry, feathery, slimy — she’s never met an animal stranger. This is a mighty good thing, as her life goal is to one day appear on the show, Survivor. The tribe has spoken, she’d win the whole thing. Dr. Katherine, ahem “Jill,” is the new vet on the block here at Aloha and her passion for her craft is unmatched, as is her love for growing fam (her baby son is named after a Star Wars character, didn’t ya know?). She’s the resident hug giver, the bright spot in everyone’s day, and always has that pep in her step. When not caring for exotics, she’s rubbing the sand between her toes on the ocean or volunteering at some wildlife center. She’s a force to be reckoned with.

Every Southern veterinary practice needs a little Northern flavor and Brie “Miss Congeniality” Hence brings it in spades. A self-described “Masshole,” she hails from Massachusetts and prefers family time and puppy dog time more than anything else in the whole wide world.

She treats everyone like she’s known them for ages and if you’re ever looking for her in the Aloha office, she’ll be the one making high-pitched noises over there in the corner. Her bold personality and go-getter attitude makes her one of Aloha’s Pet Health Heros. When Aloha called, “Miss Congeniality” answered.

Tiffany Jones “Flower Wildchild” is incomparable. Let’s start with that. We can’t think of anyone else like her. She keeps our whole practice headed in the right direction, day after day, and she chooses to do the same for herself. She has an (L) for left tattooed on one hand and an (R) for right tattooed on the other, for goodness sake. If you are looking for this dedicated animal lover when she’s not at the clinic, she’s often hitting the trail or taking in feral cats (the more averse to humans, the better). She loves soaking up the sunshine in warmer months or summing sprouts of new plants back to life, and when she’s not, she’s kicking it with her one-and-only son. A doting mama, through and through. Plus, She’s got loads of experience in the animal world, 14 years in fact, and her patience and persistence with every creature that walks through our front doors takes the cake. Say hi to our girl Tiffany. She makes our world go ‘round.
