Vasquez, who founded North Figueroa Animal Hospital in Highland Park in 1981.&nbsp; His son grew up in the practice and took over as owner eight years ago when his father died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The younger Dr. Vasquez was born in the Philippines.&nbsp; Shortly after his birth, his father, a practicing veterinarian, and his mother, Lucy, a veterinary technician, left him with his grandparents and immigrated to the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither of his parents could step quickly into veterinary work in America because of licensing requirements.&nbsp; \u201cThey worked at various odd jobs,\u201d Dr. Vasquez said, his mother joining the Army and working as a respiratory therapist.&nbsp; They sent money to the Philippines, however, to support family members.&nbsp; When Joey was four in 1976, there was enough money for him and his grandparents to come to California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young Joey had no memory of his mother and father.&nbsp; \u201cWhen I saw them for the first time, I didn\u2019t know they were my parents,\u201d he said. \u201cI was crying.&nbsp; I wanted to go back home.\u201d&nbsp; He also met his first sibling that day, a baby girl named Patricia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we opened the practice, I worked there from day one,\u201d Dr. Vasquez recalled.&nbsp; \u201cI cleaned cages, helped out with surgeries, did a lot of bathing and grooming.&nbsp; I did everything.&nbsp; I swept the parking lots, walked the dogs \u2013 I was pretty much born there.\u201d&nbsp; He agrees that was part of a pretty good education for his current job of running the practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One problem: his dad didn\u2019t want him to become a veterinarian.&nbsp; \u201cBe like your uncle [a dentist],\u201d he told Joey.&nbsp; \u201cHe works three hours a day and plays tennis the rest of the time.&nbsp; He makes lots of money.&nbsp; Veterinarians work 15 hours a day and it\u2019s a tough job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After high school, Joey went to USC. \u201cWhen I finished my undergrad, I really wanted to be a veterinarian.&nbsp; So I secretly applied to vet school.&nbsp; I also applied to dental school.&nbsp; Then I told my dad that I needed to follow my dreams and passion.&nbsp; And I have no regrets.&nbsp; This field has brought me so much happiness and it is so rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joey attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine at St. Kitts in the Caribbean, although he spent his last clinical year at the Kansas State University veterinary school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, yes, he now has some very long work days .&nbsp; But he loves every minute of it.&nbsp; For 10 years after he got his veterinary license in 2001, he worked full time at his father\u2019s practice, then worked nights at an emergency hospital to widen his experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite some long hours, \u201cworking is just so enjoyable,\u201d he said.&nbsp; \u201cPutting a smile on the faces of clients is very rewarding.&nbsp; Sometimes all they have is their pets.&nbsp; And they can be so appreciative for what you have done for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Vasquez said that his greatest accomplishment in life has been marrying his wife Jennifer and becoming the father of his 15-year-old son Tyler and nine-year-old daughter Kaylie. &nbsp;He said that he is working with his children the way his parents worked with him: encouraging them to give back and to volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes my son goes with me to Downtown Dog Rescue and he will help out there.&nbsp; At Thanksgiving the whole family goes to help feed the homeless.&nbsp; I try to lead by example. I try to make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jennifer, who has an accounting background, works as office manager in the North Figueroa Hospital.&nbsp; She has worked there since her husband returned to the practice with his DVM degree.&nbsp; \u201cI couldn\u2019t do all I do without her,\u201d Dr. Vasquez said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Vasquez and his
