Dr. Ken Bacon graduated with honors from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1987. Having grown up in the town of Hendersonville in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ken was eager to explore other parts of the country. He came to California that summer and has never left!

He opened his own practice, Central Marin Cat and Exotic Hospital, in 1995 in San Rafael, and sold it in 2019.

Since then Ken has enjoyed helping in other practices in the North Bay using his extensive experience in cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rabbits, rodents, and amphibians. Ken is pleased to be working with the talented doctors and staff at California Pet Hospital. He has recently married another veterinarian, Dr. Sandy Lester, and is the proud father of five children, three of them human, Kendrick, Annalisa, and Genevieve, as well as two furries, named Sierra, a lab mix, and Kiki, a tripod calico cat.
