Dr. Kenichiro Yoshida Veterinarian

Dr. Yoshida grew up in Castroville, California—the artichoke capital of the world!—and started his training as a veterinary assistant throughout his high school and undergrad years. He graduated from CSU Fresno with a Bachelor’s of Science degree, focusing on pre-veterinary medicine. He then worked for several years in biomedical research, where he first met Dr. Weiss. In 2016 Dr. Yoshida earned his DVM from Purdue University.

Dr. Yoshida practiced mixed-animal medicine in Humboldt County before he and his wife moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to be closer to family. He’d like clients to know this: “I’m Fear Free certified, and I’m excited to be part of the Geary Veterinary Hospital team. I will bring my thoroughness, compassion, and care to every patient that I meet.”

In his free time, Dr. Yoshida enjoys baking (his specialties are chocolate chip cookies and sourdough bread), practicing his guitar, playing ice hockey, and catching up on TV shows with his wife on the weekends. Dr. Yoshida completed his first half-marathon in 2021 and is currently in training for his next one. He and his wife like to spend time with their dog (Princess) Leia, who doesn’t understand the meaning of no when asking for scratches and petting.
