She completed a residency in
veterinary dermatology in 1992 at the Animal
Medical Center and remained there for an additional year as a staff
dermatologist.
Just as in the human
medical field,
veterinary medicine involves primary care practitioners as well as various specialists such as cardiologists, neurologists, surgeons, and
dermatologists.

veterinary field continues to expand and specialize — with
veterinary internists, cardiologists, neurologists,
dermatologists, ophthalmologists, radiologists, surgeons, nutritionists, criticalists, and dentists — pet owners can feel overwhelmed when trying to decide on the best treatment for their dog.
