Dr. Karen Smolen has been practicing companion animal medicine for over 30 years. A graduate of Ross University, she has seen the veterinary profession evolve in incredible ways and says she loves her work now more than ever. What Dr. Smolen enjoys most about veterinary medicine is helping pet owners feel confident and at peace when it comes to the health and comfort of their beloved pets. With experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds, she understands firsthand the special bond people share with their furry and feathered family members.
At home, Dr. Smolen has a tiny but mighty Terrier mix named Tito, along with three beautiful cats-Spike, Clive, and Squid- who always keep her smiling. Outside of work, Dr. Smolen enjoys sketching and drawing, especially animals, and has a special love for creating pop art with watercolors. She also plays the drums on her small studio set, which she describes as a noisy but highly therapeutic hobby.
