Dr. Kris Moger, DVM
Doctor
Dr. Kris Moger grew up in Connecticut and received her DVM degree from the University of Florida in 1992. After completing an internship in small animal medicine and surgery, she became an emergency clinician with employment in Stratford and New Haven, CT. Dr. Moger also served as an adjunct professor at Quinnipiac College, teaching Clinical Pathology to students in the Veterinary Technology program. She was later hired as the Director of Clinical Services at the New Haven Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine. In 1997, Dr. Moger relocated to Monterey, CA, where she continued working as an ER doctor. In 1999, Dr. Moger purchased her first practice in the central valley town of Madera, CA.
She realized her opportunity to develop a lower-quality one-doctor practice into a full-service hospital with three doctors, a large, well-trained support staff, and a beautiful modern facility. Dr. Moger was able to sell her practice and relocate to Incline Village with her husband and eight-year-old daughter in June 2013.
Although Dr. Moger cherished her time off, she missed the challenges of veterinary medicine and purchased the Incline Veterinary Hospital in October of 2014. Dr. Moger loves being an integral part of this wonderful community and continues to strive to strengthen the bond between Incline Pets and their human families.
Dr. Moger’s professional interests include emergency medicine and surgery, clinical pathology, and care of “pocket pets” (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, hamsters, etc.). Her other interests include baseball (a huge NY Yankee fan!), and she is an avid softball player and coach. She loves to ski, hike, and camp, and is also an NAFC-certified fitness instructor. Dr. Moger is also involved in the annual Incline Star Follies as a dancer and choreographer. She and her family enjoy the company of her dog, Marty, and two cats, Tessa and Parker.
Dr. Kevin Oran, VMD
Doctor
Dr. Kevin Oran has an undergraduate B.S. from the University of Minnesota and received his VMD degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2013. He worked for six years at a busy, nine-doctor animal practice in Chicago, Illinois. For the past two years, he has worked at a small animal practice in Orange County, California. He recently moved to Lake Tahoe with his husband and Yellow Lab.
Dr. Kevin’s areas of interest include preventative, internal, and geriatric medicine, with a special interest in dentistry. He is currently in school to begin practicing acupuncture as well.
“I have always wanted to be a veterinarian and I got my first job in the field when I was 15. I have never looked back, and it was the right decision for me! As one would expect, I was initially attracted to the field by the pets; however, I quickly realized that the relationship I formed with the owners was equally as important and rewarding.”
Dr. Kevin’s hobbies include hiking, skiing, traveling, and cooking. “I am so excited and proud to be a new member of the Lake Tahoe region. We are so grateful for the warmth and generosity of this community already!”
Dr. Abby Mulchi, DVM
Doctor
Dr. Mulchi is from Raleigh, NC where she was born and raised. She attended North Carolina State University for her undergraduate studies where in 2008 she received a B.S. in Biochemistry. After this, she attended North Carolina State University -College of Veterinary Medicine graduating in 2012 with her DVM. She went on to train at Carolina Veterinary Specialists and Emergency in Greensboro and Winston Salem, NC completing a one-year rotating internship in Internal Medicine and Surgery. At this time much to her surprise, she developed a passion for Emergency Medicine.
In her first year out of the internship, she worked full-time for a mixed animal practice in the foothills of the Appalachians in rural North Carolina assisting her husband in the upstart of a small farm that focused on grass-fed/pasture-raised organic meat and eggs. However; she quickly remembered her love for ER and found that she was completing more ‘part-time’ hours at her prior clinic than at her ‘full-time job. It was then she decided to move back to Emergency Medicine.
Dr. Mulchi worked with Carolina Veterinary Specialists and Emergency full-time from 2014 to 2020 as well as a part-time in general practice with a few local family veterinarians. It was in early 2020 that she and her husband decided that ‘the mountains were calling (as well as Lake Tahoe!) and they must go’. In June 2020 she, her husband, and senior pup ‘Petey’ made their move to Reno, NV. She continued to work in Emergency Medicine for Blue Pearl -Reno (previously known as Sierra Veterinary Specialists) up until May 2022. She and her husband have decided to move to Incline Village, NV to enjoy the small-town mountain life. She is excited to join the Incline Veterinary Hospital family.
