Growing up in Dana Point, Dr. Robert Powers-Davis is a native southern Californian who has trained all over the country. He attended the University of California, San Diego as an Animal Neuroscience and Physiology major and then proceeded to the University of Minnesota where he completed veterinary school. His passion for neurology took him to the Veterinary Specialty Hospital in San Diego for his internships. Robert completed his training with a three-year neurology and neurosurgery residency at the world-renowned Animal Medical Center in Manhattan, New York. 

Prior to joining LAASER as the Director of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Robert worked at multiple high end veterinary specialty hospitals in the LA area. His passion for neurosurgery has helped many pets regain their ability to walk over his career, which he feels is the best part of the job.

When he’s not helping animals with neurological issues, Robert enjoys traveling, playing music, going to concerts, and spending time with his cat, Double Decker Soul Wrecker; as well as his rescued brindle pittie, Amelie the Avenger. 

Dr. Powers-Davis sees appointments Monday through Thursday, in addition to providing emergency coverage to LAASER.
