Dr. Elspeth Holder
Dr. Holder was born and raised in Florida. She loved animals from an early age, spending every spare hour riding horses and encouraging her family to accumulate a number of beloved pets. She attended Williams College, double majoring in History and French. Dr. Holder worked in law, education, and agriculture and lived abroad for 4 years before deciding to return to the U.S. to pursue a career in what she had been most passionate about as a child – animals!
Dr. Holder attended veterinary school at The Ohio State University. After graduation in 2018, she and her husband left the cold Ohio winters behind for sunny southern California. Dr. Holder spent her first year in practice at a busy hospital in San Bernardino County before settling down in the South Bay. She practiced in Torrance for 7 years, where she discovered interests in dentistry, dermatology, and preventative medicine.
Dr. Holder has called San Pedro home since 2021. Her household currently consists of a black lab named Auggie and two pre-school aged children. In her (almost non-existent) free time, Dr. Holder enjoys practicing yoga, reading, going to the beach, hiking and camping.
