She later joined VEG Miami, where she fully embraced the VEG approach to pet care, emphasizing compassionate service and active client involvement. Now, as Medical Director of VEG Pinecrest, Dr. Gil is thrilled to lead a talented team dedicated to high-quality emergency care in a welcoming environment for clients and pets alike. In addition to her medical skills, Dr. Gil is passionate about teaching and leadership, creating a supportive team culture where everyone feels valued and empowered.
