What We Do

Here at 4th Street Pet Hospital, every pet that comes through our door becomes part of the family. Our talented and knowledgeable veterinarians, Dr. Stepanie Montor and Dr. Diana M. Muñoz, personalize your pet’s veterinary care to ensure they get exactly what they need, when they need it. With over 30 years of combined experience treating various species of animals, you will feel confident that your pet is in caring and competent hands. We offer the time and compassion you want, and the expertise your pet needs. Since 2012, 4th Street Pet Hospital has been providing skilled veterinary care for all of St. Pete’s furry friends, and we hope you and your pets will join our family as well!

A Veterinary Technician is a Skilled Nurse for Pets

We are always pleased when a client tells us that they really like and appreciate Dr. Montor and Dr. Diana M. Muñoz. Behind the scenes, they enlist the help of a talented group of pet nurses, which are normally called technicians, in the veterinary field. These technicians perform many of the same procedures as nurses working in the human medical field. Our technicians assist our doctors with surgeries and on their own do dental cleanings, lab work, take x-rays, place IV catheters, and a list of other services too lengthy to list here.

While many veterinary technicians have been trained exclusively on the job (with proper supervision) over many years, others have additionally attended multiyear college programs. In all cases, veterinary technicians, just like human nurses, are the backbone of the veterinary medical team. They are instrumental to Dr. Montor and Dr. Diana M. Muñoz in helping you to keep your pet happy and healthy.

Dr. Diana M. Muñoz

Dr. Diana Muñoz was born and raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Growing up on the island made her realize the problem with overpopulation and homeless animals. She decided to pursue her dreams to become an advocate for the innocent with no voice.

She received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Tuskegee University in 2011. Dr. Muñoz enjoys performing soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and internal medicine. She also enjoys educating and encouraging pet owners in taking a proactive approach to preventative medicine. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

Dr. Muñoz is local to St. Petersburg. She married her high school sweetheart Gino and together they have a daughter named Paola. In her spare time, she enjoys biking and kayaking. She also loves traveling and experiencing new culinary cuisines with her husband and daughter.

Dr. Jennifer Barros

Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer Barros! I’m originally from the Canary Islands and took my veterinary medical journey to the beautiful shores of Grenada, where I studied at St. George’s University. When I’m not in doctor mode, you can find me chasing adrenaline on the fastest roller coasters (front row only, of course). I’m a proud dog mom to my sweet boy Dante, and the fun-loving aunt to my two pup-niece and nephews, Toby and Rosa. 

Fun fact: Pet health insurance can make a world of difference when emergencies happen, helping you focus on cuddles and recovery instead of costs. A little planning today means a happier, healthier tomorrow for your four-legged besties!

Ashley Baker

Office Manager

I am a St. Pete native that has worked in medicine since I was 17: started with veterinary medicine for five years, switched to human medicine, and now back with animals starting in 2021. My favorite part of working with animals is the opportunity to meet every pet's individual personality and work with people who have the same interest in medicine.

I have four rescues; three cats (Luna, Jiji, Sinister) and a yorkie terrier (Abbi). In my free time, I enjoy crafting, spending time with loved ones, visiting nature preserves, reading, and pursuing my interest in psychology.

Katherine Calero

Lead Veterinary Technician

I started my career in veterinary medicine in 2015, first as a receptionist and then as a technician a year after. I have a passion for marine mammals (especially dolphins) which drove my desire to work with animals. I love having the opportunity to see all our patients and hang out with my coworkers every day. They always make me laugh and help to keep a smile on my face.

In my freetime, I spend time with my three human babies and six fur babies; my cat (Pico De Gato), rabbit (Chubs), and four dogs (Jordan, Ella, Toby, and Ali).

Khloe Clossin

Client Care Coordinator

Hi, my name is Khloe. My love for animals started when I was young and growing up on a farm/rescue in Missouri. I was lucky enough to spend time with all kinds of animals from chickens to otters. My interest in veterinary medicine stems from my passion for nurturing animals and I look forward to learning more about veterinary medicine with my friends at 4th Street Pet Hospital. I do not have a pet of my own but get to spend lots of time with animals through my pet sitting business and by loving on my family pet, Sweet Pea. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, trying new foods, and going to the beach.

Glessy Georgia Esto

Client Care Coordinator

Hi, my name is Glessy! I'm a veterinarian from the Philippines with experience in both small and large animal practices when not helping clients at 4th Street Pet Hospital. I especially love being out in the field. Working as a VA was originally a bit challenging for me—especially since I’m naturally aloof—but over time, I have found it to be really rewarding. I’m a fur mom to six dogs: Evee, Groot, Chambe, Lagsy, Hunter, and Baltimore. In my free time, I binge-watch K-dramas, scroll through YouTube, or melt into bed.

Izek Thomas

Veterinary Technician

My name is Izek Thomas, I was born in Florida and spent much of my life in Northern Michigan learning from a bloodline of traditional farmers. Since the age of 5, I’ve always known that I wanted to work with animals and grew an interest in studying the art of healing. After graduating highschool with over a 4.0 GPA, I decided to learn as much as possible, beginning by diving into the industry itself. Initially being presented with an amazing opportunity to work with Peterson & Smith Equine Hospital, assisting and observing some of the top equine medical professionals in Florida. There I learned how to help some of the strongest and most unpredictable animals by helping them remain calm and still for stressful procedures. I then decided to learn about the domestic side of the industry and gain experience in the basics of clinic-work so I could continue my growth in veterinary medicine, go to college, and eventually my main goal is to pursue an international career in wildlife rehabilitation. Outside of veterinary medicine I enjoy cooking new recipes, surrounding myself with music and nature, fishing, gardening, and caring for my rescue pup (Onida) and my rescue kitty (Mary J).
