Zachary Carroll, DVM, is a New York native and a veterinarian by nature. His love of and desire to care for animals have been driving forces throughout his academic and professional career.

Dr. Carroll attended Lehigh University for his undergraduate studies, where he pursued a degree in biology, and was published in several scientific journals for his research relating to endangered fish populations in west Texas. Most importantly, however, Dr. Carroll graduated from Lehigh with his Himalayan-mix, Stella, whom he adopted after noticing her frequent visits to his backyard.

Returning to New York after college, Dr. Carroll spent two years working as a veterinary assistant, which solidified his resolve to become a veterinarian. Dr. Carroll received his degree in veterinary medicine from the Ohio State University Veterinary School, graduating with Honors in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. While at Ohio State, Dr. Carroll also adopted Mindy, a loving Retriever-Australian Shepherd mix, and Noelle, a Tabby who was left at the hospital with a severe eye infection. Following veterinary school, he completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Oregon State University.

Outside of work, Dr. Carroll enjoys hiking (especially with Mindy), exercising, and distracting himself with a great movie. When the weather permits, Dr. Carroll can often be spotted playing softball in Central Park.
