About Vet

Hello! I am a veterinarian with 20+ years of experience. I have worked as an anesthesiologist and as a general practitioner over the years to enable myself to reside in NYC where I live with my family including 2 dogs. I am happy to help with pain management, anxiety, cancer pain as well as more routine matters. I like helping families manage chronic conditions because this enables our bond to continue with our family pets as they age and nothing is better than old dogs or cats :) I also am happy to help my clients understand and process what is happening with serious illnesses. Your concerns about your pet resonate with me as I too am a concerned, attached pet owner who tries to do the best for my companion animals.

We were basically needing prevention medications because we had recently moved! She did a wonderful job going through the different kinds and what options were best for our dog. This was perfect as our dog got very anxious about seeing a vet, so being able to see her at home while he enjoyed some doggie ice cream was the best! She did such a good job and made me feel so comfortable. I would say she is one of the best vets that we've ever had! We will continue using this service from here on out!

She was great in reviewing the current issue of potential mastitis and gave some tips to help her out. Was very caring about the dog and discussing in length what to do and what she’s going to provide.
