About Us.

Happy Valley Veterinary Hospital was built from the ground up to create a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who came through our doors. Through the shared vision of Dr. Cheung and Dr. Goh, we provide high-quality veterinary care and exceptional client communication, making Happy Valley a trusted name in the community.

Dr. Hart Ling Cheung.

DVM

Dr. Cheung is originally from Hong Kong and received her DVM training in China and the UK. After veterinary school, she completed a one-year rotating internship at a private referral practice in Hong Kong, where she gained significant exposure to emergency medicine and critical care. She then spent the next six years of her career working in various major cities, including Beijing, Hong Kong, and London, before settling down in the Bay area, which she has happily called home for the past seven years. Dr. Cheung has a strong interest in soft tissue surgery, abdominal ultrasound, preventative medicine, geriatric care, and small pocket pet medicine. She enjoys building a strong relationship with her clients as well as their furry family members, and her practice philosophy is providing sensible, high-quality medicine with a focus on open communication.

During her free time, Dr. Cheung enjoys learning languages and spending time with her young human son as well as her furrier son — rescue dog, Merlin. They enjoy visiting National Parks and hiking the many trails that California has to offer.

Languages

Dr. Cheung speaks fluent English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

Kyle.

Registered Veterinary Technician

I have always had a passion for animals as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs, two snakes, and a freshwater tank with plenty of fish. Reptiles have always stood out to me due to their interesting behavior and their underrated personalities. On the weekends, I enjoy taking my dogs to places such as the beach or hiking. My favorite spot to take my dogs is Davenport Beach in the Santa Cruz area. My favorite thing about being a technician is helping those clients who go above and beyond to maintain their pets’ health and happiness.
