Dr. Amari Anderson

Dr. Amari was born and raised in Ithaca NY, only a few miles from the Cornell Veterinary School – so some might say she was destined to be a veterinarian. She attended Bucknell University and graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Behavior. She then returned to her hometown and fulfilled her dream of becoming a veterinarian, gaining her veterinary degree from Cornell University Veterinary School.

After graduating, Amari moved to Northern Virginia to begin her career as a small animal veterinarian. Her deep passion for strengthening the human animal bond led her to become Fear Free Certified and guides how she practices medicine. She is also a Category 1 USDA accredited veterinarian. While she enjoys all aspects of general practice, Amari’s particular interests include preventative medicine, dermatology, palliative care and surgery.
