Dermatology Center for Animals to open doors November 2014

What brought me to Seattle?

I first visited Seattle in 2009 while living and practicing veterinary medicine at a large multi-doctor facility in Los Angeles, CA. Like many of the city's transplants before me, it was love at first site! All of its trees, surrounding waters, mountainous back drop, and the independent spirit of the progressive people and politics made me realize I wanted to become a part of such an amazing community and one day call Seattle home.

My Mission

I decided to leave behind a great practice, great friends and colleagues and family in pursuit of an internship and residency (specialized) training in dermatology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, with hopes of eventually becoming Seattle’s veterinary dermatology and allergy expert. Over the last four years, I've decided I wanted to keep with the Seattle entrepreneurial spirit and create an independent, dermatology specialty referral practice. I truly believe that a key element to a healthy pet is a great relationship with your primary care veterinarian. I am committed to fostering professional, caring, personalized service with the community of veterinarians and clients. My staff and I will always strive to be available to answer any and all questions or concerns.

I'm extremely proud of my determination and sincerely grateful to now be living in and serving such a wonderful city. I am excited for the opportunity to provide pet owners in this area with the expertise and help that I've dedicated my life to.
