Who Am I?

I am a local DVM who is working with local practices to keep general surgeries in-house through mobile relief and teaching.

After 18 years as a veterinarian, countless general surgeries, and more than 15,000 sterilization procedures, surgery has become second nature to me. I’m passionate about sharing that knowledge with fellow veterinarians. By combining relief services with clinical teaching, I help practices maintain surgical excellence while empowering their teams to grow.
