PORTER PET
Porter Veterinary Center carries forward a cherished multi-decade local history at our 18224 Parthenia Street home in Northridge. Recently rebuilt from the ground up as a modern hospital, we combine updated surgical suites and advanced diagnostics with personal, unhurried care.
In an era where private equity corporations are acquiring local animal hospitals across Southern California, Porter Veterinary Center remains proudly independent.
Our medical recommendations are dictated solely by what is best for your dog or cat—never by corporate revenue targets or manufactured test quotas.
You will speak directly with Dr. McNamara regarding test results, surgical procedures, and ongoing medical management. We partner with pet parents collaboratively.
We schedule realistic appointment slots so patients aren't rushed through exams. Nervous pets are given the time and space they need to settle.
Every member of our team is deeply committed to compassionate patient care and clear communication.
Dr. McNamara brings a calm, thoughtful, and low-stress approach to modern clinical care. Focused on thorough diagnostic medicine, routine and advanced soft-tissue surgery, dental health, and partnering closely with pet owners to make medical decisions clear and collaborative.
A welcoming, compassionate presence for pets and families from check-in through diagnostics, treatment, and discharge. Known for her gentle handling and patient reassurance with nervous animals.
Leads practice administration and clinical hospital operations, ensuring smooth scheduling, modern technology integration, and exceptional hospital standards for every visit.
Coordinates patient flow, direct client communications, medical records transfers, and daily hospital management with warmth and dedication to our Northridge community.
Manages practice accounting, transparent treatment cost estimates, payment options, and operational finances with integrity and clarity.
