Urgent care asks a lot of a veterinarian: fast decisions, stressed families, and patients who can't tell you what's wrong. Our featured veterinarian built her clinic around meeting those moments.
Megan Usiak, DVM, is the founder and Medical Director of East Valley Urgent Pet Care. She began her career as a veterinary nurse, trained extensively in emergency medicine, and earned her veterinary degree from the University of Glasgow. Seeing a gap in accessible urgent care in the East Valley, she opened one of the region's first clinics dedicated to it.
In her words: "I want to be an advocate for those who don't have a voice and be a source of security and help when a family and their pet need it."
She has also mentored veterinary students, coordinated clinical training, and collaborated with veterinary colleges internationally. Outside the clinic, she spends her time kayaking, hiking, and biking with her family.
Thank you, Dr. Usiak, for the leadership you bring to urgent veterinary care.
