Meet Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Susana Saucedo Bailey

Dr. Susana Bailey was raised in El Paso, Texas, attending schools in the Northeast area until her graduation from Irvin High School in 1990. She received her Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994 and her doctorate in veterinary medicine from the University of Wisconsin-School of Veterinary Medicine in Madison in 1999. Dr. Bailey’s first position was at a veterinary practice directly across the street from her high school, at Northeast Veterinary Clinic, now known as the Stellar Pets & Vets on Dyer Street.

After many exciting travels, including exploring the Grand Canyon by white water rafting the Colorado River, touring Italy, and spending many summers in Kodiak, Alaska, Dr. Bailey has turned to another adventure… raising three beautiful boys. Outside of clinical duties, her time is currently spent on family events, reading, environmental advocacy, and promoting the camaraderie of El Paso veterinarians through volunteering in the El Paso Veterinary Association.

Dr. Michelle Vrahnos

Dr. Michelle Vrahnos was born and raised in El Paso and graduated from Hanks High School. She went to earn her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Texas at El Paso, followed by an additional Bachelor of Science and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine for Texas A&M University.

She has been practicing veterinary medicine for 28 years and is incredibly proud to have spent her career serving her community throughout the evolution of the practice from Northeast Veterinary Clinic and Montana Animal Clinic to what is now known as Stellar Veterinary Clinic. Caring for pets and building lasting relationships with their families has been the most rewarding part of her career.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending tome with family and friends, jogging, watching movies, listening to podcasts, trying new restaurants and traveling. At home, she is happily owned by her two dogs, Winter and Raisin, who bring daily joy to her life.

Dr. Iliana Flores

Dr. Flores is a passionate and caring Veterinarian dedicated to the practice of small animals. A graduate of Universidad Autonoma in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, she also has a Small Animal Specialty Certification from Universidad Autonoma in Mexico City, Mexico. Dr. Flores was born in Juarez, Mexico to her father, Samuel Flores — a Doctor of Dentistry and his wife, Patricia Lozano, a portrait photographer. She grew up with two brothers, a sister, and several dogs and cats that she considered to be part of the family. As a child, Iliana rescued strays and nursed them back to health, thus finding her calling to heal and ease the suffering of animals early in life. She immigrated to the United States and obtained her Veterinary License through the American Veterinary Medical Association’s Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates. Not only is she an experienced practitioner and surgeon, but also serves as a mentor instructing the younger generation on procedures and surgical techniques.
