Dr. Matthew Aaronian was born and raised in Southern California. His undergraduate work was completed at Cal Poly Pomona. He graduated from Kansas State University with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. Upon graduation from veterinary school, he worked in Colorado Springs, CO in a small animal emergency practice. This experience taught him what good quality medicine was and exposed him to many interesting cases (and people).

After 2 years of practice in Colorado, he and his fiancée Brandy, decided to move back to California. He joined the staff at Atascadero Pet Hospital & Emergency Center in February 2007. His professional interests include internal medicine, surgery, and oncology. His interest and research in oncology has helped to establish new chemotherapy protocols within our hospital.

He and Brandy were married in August 2008. In their spare time, they enjoy doing things with their dogs, Forest, Kayak, Graham and Raina, as well as traveling and spending time with family. They also have the best cat in the world, Toby, but he likes to stay at home.
