Veterinarian

Dr. David graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2013 and became a partner at Animal Care Clinic in February 2017.

His professional interests include all aspects of small animal medicine, with a strong interest in surgery and dentistry. 

Dr. David shares his home with his wife (also a veterinarian) and his pets including one very large, energetic Akita named Nala and two cats; a lap cat named Trouble and a food-motivated cat named Loki.
