Dr. Sue Wilson
Dr. Sue Wilson grew up in Los Angeles and did her undergraduate studies at California State University, Northridge before moving north to attend the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis, class of 1986. After completion of an Internship in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery at Cornell University, she moved back to California to practice in the San Francisco Bay Area for the next 25 years. Being the sun-worshipper that she is, Sue moved to San Diego in 2012 and loves all that the area has to offer. Having provided in-home euthanasia for her patients in the bay area has given her the experience to know how important this last phase of a pet’s life is. To be able to provide comfort, compassion and closure to family members and their pet in this transition is something she feels very privileged to be a part of. Sue lives in Clairemont with her senior rescue golden retriever, Luca, and two cats, Mole and Widget. In her free time, Sue enjoys going to the beach, hiking, camping, wine tasting, gardening, vegan cooking, scrapbooking and yoga. As of September 2014, Sue is the new owner of Transitions Veterinary Services.

Amanda Hodder
Amanda knew from a young age that her love for animals would lead her to do great things. She could always be found with a pet or animal by her side. Her friends have jokingly call her Snow White, because stray animals always seem to find her. In 2017 she followed that passion and started fostering kittens, and the next year she began the process to open her own 501c3 nonprofit kitten rescue. Since then her volunteer-operated organization has saved the lives of hundreds of kittens. In 2020 she became a mother to a little boy named Zephyr, and in 2021 she became part of the Transitions team. On top of running the rescue and working for Transitions she is a stay-at-home mom.
