Sam Ficalora

Samantha started her veterinary medicine journey at our sister hospital, Veterinary Emergency Center of Redlands, where she started out as a receptionist and progressed to Assistant Hospital Manager. Sam has a passion for helping others and has previously worked in worker's compensation administration, restaurant management, and as an aide for her local school district. Her dedication to serving others is evident through her volunteer work with Girl Scouts of the USA and her involvement on the board of her children's school. One of her most recent projects was assisting in the opening of our Redlands Veterinary Emergency Center.
She is originally from the Rancho Cucamonga area, and recently returned to her hometown after 15 years in the high desert. Outside of work, Samantha cherishes time with her children, embarking on new adventures, and the occasional couch nap with her dogs. An enthusiastic home cook, she enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Samantha is deeply committed to serving her community, always striving to provide patients and clients with the same care she would give her own family.
