""We wanted our clinic to feel like a home instead of a sterile, cold corporate clinic," Alexa Ojala said. "When you walk in, you will be greeted by our mom (Tuli Ojala) and me. We will get you seated in either one of our cozy examination rooms or on our patio that is overlooking the (Sacramento-San-Joaquin River) Delta. Our dad, Clint Ojala, is here pretty frequently helping out too.""
"Born in Hayward and raised in Brentwood, the pair returned to East County to open the practice at 98 Big Break Road in Oakley, offering care for a wide range of animals in a welcoming, noncorporate setting. They say the clinic reflects not only their shared upbringing but also a deep family bond that continues to shape their personal and professional lives."
Ojala Family Pet Care opened June 30 at 98 Big Break Road in Oakley, providing veterinary care for a range of animals. The clinic is operated by siblings Dr. Austin Ojala and Alexa Ojala and is a sibling-run practice unique in East Contra Costa County. The owners were born in Hayward, raised in Brentwood, and returned to East County to establish the practice. Dr. Ojala purchased land in Brentwood where multiple family members plan to build homes, reinforcing family closeness. The clinic emphasizes a noncorporate, home-like atmosphere with cozy exam rooms and a patio overlooking the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, and family members greet and assist clients. The practice prioritizes transparency, community care, and a personal approach to pet care decisions.
