Please join us in welcoming a new member to our team - Dr. Matthew Stanga!
Born and raised in West Deer, Dr. Stanga developed a passion for animals early on that led him to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. He also completed his undergraduate studies at Penn State University before earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from The Ohio State University in 2025.
During his clinical year at Ohio State’s specialty hospital, he had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a variety of disciplines, solidifying his interests in both emergency medicine, dentistry, and general practice. He chose this profession because he always wanted to make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and the people who care for them. What he loves most about being a veterinarian is that no two days are ever the same, and is constantly inspired by the incredible bond between pets and their families.
In his free time, he enjoys hiking, spending time with friends and family, and following soccer. He has two rabbits and lives with his parents and brother in the Pittsburgh area.
We are so excited to have Dr. Stanga on the Avalon team and cannot wait to see what he can do for our patients and clients! 😸🐶
