Dr. Shelby Hurwitt hails from the greater Sacramento area. She received her DVM degree from Oregon State University in 2023 (go Beavs!). She then returned to the Sacramento area to complete a rotating internship at VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center. Upon realizing a combined passion for ophthalmic medicine and surgery, she decided to pursue the fascinating specialty of ophthalmology. Last year, Dr. Hurwitt completed an ophthalmology internship at Animal Eye Center in Rocklin, CA. This year, she is joining the Veterinary Eye Clinic team for a second ophthalmology internship. In her free time, Dr. Hurwitt enjoys hiking with her two Australian Shepherds and exploring the Los Angeles food scene with her husband. Dr. Hurwitt cannot wait to meet you and your pets – furry, feathered, spiny, or scaly!

Real testimonials from families who trusted Dr. Hurwitt with their pet's vision care.
Matt and Hannah
VEC Alhambra
"I was referred to this clinic by my vet after my dog developed a growth on his eyelid. Veterinary eye clinic did an amazing job taking care of my pet and me. The front desk was friendly, communicative and would follow up before and after appointments. Dr. Sheahan is truly amazing at what she does. I felt like the clinic really cared for my pet and I can’t thank them enough."
Francesca
VEC Calabasas
"The VEC team was so kind and thorough with our fur baby. He had a freak accident that ultimately had to end up with his eye being removed, but they helped make what was an awful situation the best it could be. They were super understanding and considerate with all things and we are so grateful for the outcome of our little man's operation. Thank you to everyone at VEC for taking care of our Enzo!"
