Meet Our Veterinarians

Dr. Plitt has been a member of the Huffard Animal Hospital family since 2001. As a college student at UMD, she began with us as a receptionist, then shifted to the position of veterinary assistant, and eventually became a registered veterinary technician (RVT). Following her acceptance to the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, she completed her DVM in 2010.

As a veterinarian, she was drawn back to our Huffard family by what she considers our “unique ability to provide quality medical care in a multi-doctor advanced general practice, while still maintaining that ‘family doctor’ vibe.” Since her reunion with our hospital, Dr. Plitt has developed professional interests in the areas of surgery and dentistry and also thoroughly enjoys engaging our medical support staff in additional learning and hands-on experience.

A self-proclaimed nerd, she regularly participates in continuing education programs herself to keep her approach to medicine strong and current. Even on the toughest of days, she maintains that the veterinary world is where she is meant to be! In her free time, though, she enjoys balancing her life by spending time with family and friends, traveling, SCUBA diving, and dancing (ballet and competitive ballroom).

Although Dr. Plitt has counted fish, frogs, cats, birds, ferrets, and rabbits among her critters in the past, her current family members include an incredible son and a gentle but fun-loving “box-of-chocolates” pupper she calls Pita. She can’t wait to meet your family and all your fur babies, too!

A graduate of Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Mosby joined the Huffard Animal family in 2004.

She has grown to love the clients and becomes attached to her regular patients. She looks forward to coming to work and getting a high from being able to help someone’s animal to live a healthier, happier life. She believes medicine should be individualized to the patient’s specific needs and tries to listen carefully to address all her client’s concerns.

When not at the hospital, Dr. Mosby enjoys spending time with her family, husband Koby, and daughter Kallista. She enjoys watching movies and getting lost in a good book. Physical fitness is important to her and she tries to fit exercise into her busy schedule.

Dr. Mosby looks forward to seeing your pet and providing the best care possible.

Dr. Helen Hu grew up in Oklahoma, home to fantastic skyscapes and plentiful wildlife, where both farm and companion animals are an important part of daily lives. From a young age, she has been fascinated by every creature that is non-human and has always had a special love for her family pets. As an undergraduate, her interests in science and biology led her on research expeditions scouring fields for spiders, nurturing hordes of fruit flies in science labs, and finally, fatefully, student interning at a veterinary hospital. It was here where she realized that she wanted to advocate and help care for our non-human companions through veterinary medicine.

After graduating with a degree in Evolutionary Biology from Brown University, Dr. Hu returned to her home state and received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University. She joined the Huffard Animal Hospital family in 2004 and has since found joy in

helping to strengthen the human-animal bond and help care for our four-legged family members. She has a special heart for our geriatric companions and the delicate balance necessary at this stage.

When not in the hospital, Dr. Hu thrives on spending time with her husband, Frank, and their three children, Audrey, Nate, and Connor. The children keep Dr. Hu and Frank pretty busy with their side gigs as chauffeurs. They also run interference at home, keeping their silly, food-crazy cat, Nutmeg (aka Nutty), from diving into the dog food bag or onto dinner plates. Luckily, their Australian Cattle Dog Mix, Autumn, has more decorum and can be found curled up next to their sides or eagerly joining them on runs. Come visit and share the stories of your loved pets as we work together to provide the best care possible!

Dr. Greenwood was born in Georgia and raised in Washington state. She decided she wanted to be a veterinarian during a 2nd-grade career fair and has pursued this goal ever since. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Linfield College and attended Washington State University (Go Cougs!) for veterinary school. Upon graduation in 2016, Dr. Greenwood spent 4 years as a Captain in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, where her main duties included care of military working animals, conducting food safety and food defense inspections, and care of Soldiers’ privately owned animals. Dr. Greenwood enjoys helping owners strengthen their bonds with their animals and looks forward to building long-lasting client and patient relationships at Huffard Animal Hospital.

When not working, Dr. Greenwood enjoys spending time with her husband, Nathan, and their two daughters. She has 1 dog (Lilly) and 2 cats (Lola and Leila), though she would probably own several more if she could get Nathan to agree. She is excited to join the Huffard family and provide the best care she can to your animals!

Dr. Bell first joined Huffard Animal Hospital in 2016 after graduating from her undergrad program at Frostburg State University. She started and grew her skills as an exam room technician, where she was able to learn from the Doctors whom she now calls her colleagues. Dr. Bell ventured out to the mountains of Colorado for vet school, where she attended Colorado State University. But, she couldn't bear to stay away from Huffard for too long, so she came back during summer breaks in school to rejoin the Huffard family.

Dr. Bell dreamed of returning to Huffard as a Veterinarian because of the fantastic care we give for every patient ranging from routine appointments to emergency situations, and she is thrilled to be a Doctor within these walls. Dr. Bell looks forward to building strong relationships with clients and their furry friends and helping them in every situation.

When not at work, Dr. Bell spends time with her wonderful husband, Matt, where they were happily married just a day after graduation in 2021. They have quite the menagerie of animals with three dogs (Marley, Koda, Sammy), three cats (Aziraphale, Crowley, Tuna), and a newly added ball python (name TBD). She enjoys working on puzzles, spoiling the animals alongside her husband, boxing, and rock climbing (courtesy of her many adventures in Colorado).

Dr. Grant was born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with five siblings and two Great Danes. Her passion for animals began at a young age. Her mom has a photo from her kindergarten graduation dressed as a Veterinarian, wearing a white coat and holding a stuffed puppy animal!

Growing up, she was fortunate enough to be owned by her loving Great Dane, Maui. In 2000, when Maui was diagnosed with lymphoma, Dr. Grant's dream of becoming a Veterinarian turned into determination as she knew she wanted to care for animals in need.

Dr. Grant joined the Huffard Team in 2017 as a Veterinary Technician after graduating from Salisbury University. In 2018, she was admitted into the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine while continuing to work at Huffard during Winter/Summer breaks. In 2022, Dr. Grant earned her DVM and graduated within the top 10 of her class.

In her free time, Dr. Grant enjoys home-cooked family dinners, riding horses, and boating! She also loves fishing, crabbing, and exploring on the water with her fiancé Zach and 6-year-old Newfoundland Koa. If she isn't with Zach and Koa, she is most likely back on the Eastern Shore visiting her family and their 3 Great Danes (Luna, Newton, & Rowan) and 2 Newfoundlands (Lola & Sully).

Dr. Almog Eden grew up in Georgia, and his love for animals began in middle school when his family purchased their first Maltese. Dr. Eden would accompany his parents to the veterinarian, and he quickly realized that this was the field he was meant to be in.

Dr. Eden joined the Huffard Team in 2024 as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine after graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine (Go Dawgs!) He is eager to meet the Pasadena Community and help every family take the best care of their pets as possible!

When not at the hospital, Dr. Eden enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and their Redbone Coonhound. He enjoys going on hikes, watching a good TV show, and traveling to new places.

Dr. Rivas Morales was born in El Salvador and migrated to the United States when he was nine years old. He has lived in Maryland since! His love for animals began during his time in El Salvador when he helped his grandparents care for their livestock and chickens. Even with his history of caring for animals, if you had told him in high school he would become a veterinarian, he would not have believed you. Now, though, he cannot imagine a different career path.

Dr. Morales went to the University of Maryland in College Park for his undergraduate degree in 2018 and graduated with a Bachelor's in Animal Science. In 2020, he decided to further his education by earning his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at St. Georges University and completing his clinical training at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.

You can find Dr. Morales spending time with family and those close to him outside of work! He also enjoys the outdoors, especially hiking and birdwatching!
