Lexie McPherson

Summary
I was born and raised in Reno, NV. My first veterinary job was at Klaich Animal Hospital in Reno when I was 18 years old. I am confident in handling injured animals. I am also compassionate and understanding when it comes to the clients. They are a large part of working at a veterinary hospital and I realize that completely. I moved out of Nevada for several years but finally found a home in Grass Valley and I’m so grateful to be back. I am a licensed Falconer and I fly two male Harris‘s hawks and a Red-naped Shaheen falcon. I spend most of the fall and winter months hunting my hawk over my English cocker spaniel, Fitzgerald and my GSP, Virgil.
