Veterinarian
Dr. Roark Freeman has been a lifelong resident of the East Bay. He grew up in Livermore and attended Cal State East Bay before attending UC Davis and receiving his BS and Doctorate degrees in Veterinary Medicine. Upon completion of Veterinary School Dr. Freeman worked briefly in a multi-doctor Veterinary Hospital in San Jose. He then founded a Veterinary hospital in Santa Clara and later, another in Union City.
Dr. Freeman’s practice interests include caring for his clients (he loves meeting new people and building relationships) as well as supporting the Human Animal Bond through prevention of illness and promotion of health and longevity in his canine, feline, avian and exotic patients. Dr. Freeman knows that many animals who are candidates for advanced Imaging options, such as Computed Tomography (CT), never receive diagnostics through cost, lack of access, or in many cases, because potential referring practitioners are not aware these technologies have been introduced to the Veterinary Profession. Dr. Freeman believes that newer treatments for acute and chronic injuries such as laser therapy and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) hold much more promise over drugs alone to help animals with debilitating injuries return to function.
Dr. Freeman and his wife have two grown children, one grandson and one grand daughter, and live locally on a ranch with their horses, dogs, parrots, and many, many cats.
