Dr. Rudy Cerjan
Dr. Cerjan lives with his wife Linda in Sugar Hill Georgia and has been a veterinarian around Atlanta for over thirty years.

He feels privileged to be part of the team of his patients’ caretakers and families providing medical care and education. His past and present furred, feathered, and scaled companions have enriched his life through sharing their lives and personalities with him. They will always be a part of him, and he hopes he has given back to them. Dr. Cerjan also enjoys spending time with his family, baking, reading, and gardening.

Oriana
Oriana was born in Venezuela and moved to the U.S. in search of a better future when she was 15. Oriana did not know any English and knew she had to work very hard to reach her dream of becoming a veterinarian, and has been taking baby steps to achieving her goal. She has a beautiful baby girl who she spoils too much, but let’s be honest, who doesn’t? In her free time Oriana loves to take her daughter to the park.

She has an identical twin sister who is 7 minutes older than her, a little brother 13 years younger than her, and 1 fur baby. Yoda, her tuxedo cat is 12 years old.
