About Vet

If you need an appointment and have seen me before, please request an appointment through Vetster-Thank you Hello! I’m a veterinarian with over 20 years of experience in both general practice and veterinary anesthesia. My career has taken me from specialty hospitals to family clinics — all so I could build a life in New York City with my family and two dogs.

I’m passionate about helping pets live well, whether that means managing chronic pain, addressing anxiety, supporting cancer patients, or guiding families through routine care. I especially value working with families facing long-term or serious conditions because I believe the human–animal bond only deepens with time — and nothing brings me more joy than helping aging dogs and cats thrive.

As a devoted pet owner myself, I understand how deeply you care for your animals. My goal is not only to provide sound medical advice but also to help you feel supported and informed every step of the way. I am an Elite Fear Free certified professional and can help discuss medication options for visiting an in-person veterinarian.
