Dr. Monika has been part of the Animal Care Centers family since 2012 and loves helping pets live their happiest, healthiest lives! ❤️ She has a special interest in preventive care, ultrasound, and solving challenging cases. She really enjoys getting to know her patients and their families and being part of their pets’ health journeys.
When she’s not caring for furry patients, she’s busy at home with her husband, their two boys , and her own furry family members — Shamu the Boston Terrier 🐶 and Sailor the cat 🐱! And when football season rolls around, you can bet she’ll be cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes! 🏈❤️🩶
Q&A with Dr. Monika!
1. Q: Myth Buster moment! What’s one common vet med or pet care myth you’d like to dispel?
A: “A Common myth that clients report often but in reality it doesn’t carry any weight is - if the nose is warm/dry that indicates the pet is sick. This actually is not an indicator of illness.”
2. Q: What’s something you wish was more common knowledge for pet parents?
A: “I wish more knew that Veterinary Medicine has had some crazy advancements in the last decade and as a result costs have increased. So we want pet parents to be honest with their vet team about cost concerns, budgets, and what a realistic care plan looks like for them.“
Veterinary care is not one size fits all and we want to be able to provide the best care for each and every patient.
Dr. Monika also plays a huge role in training and development of our staff. She mentors externs and new doctors, conducts anesthesia classes for new technicians, and advocates for the integration of important medical advancements into our daily practice to help our clinic provide the very best level of care.
