Some of you know me from my previous 15 years working at Murrayhill Veterinary Hospital, and to others I will be a new face among the amazing team of doctors already helping with your pet's healthcare. I am excited to share that I returned at the end of June 2021, to rejoin this incredible crew of doctors and support staff.
I was gone for almost 2 years and I am excited to come back and take up from where I left off. I have a strong passion for dentistry, surgery, endocrine disorders, arthritis management and preventive care. I am a huge lover of kitties, and through the American Association of Feline Practitioners, I orchestrated VCA Murrayhill Veterinary Hospital's certification to become a "Cat Friendly Practice." I plan to resume my role and strive to keep us at the gold level of certification.
I look forward to seeing your pets soon and have much appreciation for the VCA Murrayhill family who found a place for me to return home.
