”More than 30 years after receiving my V.M.D., I can't imagine a more rewarding life's work. I made my decision as a nine-year-old, because the dog I loved was dying. Knowing the loss, I find joy in the ever-increasing ways in which veterinarians can help pets and owners. Each year brings a deeper regard for the human-animal connection, one of life's true blessings.”

”The greatest part of veterinary medicine for me is being able to help pets live happy and healthy lives. It is most rewarding for me to be able to improve the quality of life for an animal, and at the same time enhance the relationship between that animal and their human family.”

”What I value most are the relationships I have with my clients and their pets.  My hope is for people to have healthy relationships with their pets and to experience the unconditional love and caring that pets can teach us.”
