Meet Dr. Marcela Salas
Associate VeterinarianDr. Marcela Salas VMD graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2000. Since then she has practiced compassionate, scientifically rigorous medical care at leading private clinics and nonprofit organizations around the greater NYC area.
Dr. Salas tailors treatment by evaluating pet health holistically and listening to owners closely. As a skilled practitioner of surgery, dentistry, dermatology, clinical pathology, and ultrasound, she aims to provide comprehensive treatments while minimizing visits and stress. Comfortable with the challenging medical cases and the emergencies, she also strives to improve the quality of life and longevity of pets of all ages, and feels it is important to create a healthy pet-vet bond early.
Dr. Salas holds both NY and NJ state licenses and is accredited by AVMA and USDA. She stays current on best practices through regular continuing education courses and veterinary conferences, and tries to learn something new every single day with humility and curiosity.
A true animal lover since childhood, Dr. Salas loves her TVC patients and their pet-parents, and feels incredibly privileged to be a part of the team here! She shares her Nyack home with her rescued cat and dog, and her lovely daughter. When she is not working she enjoys gardening, biking, traveling, and getting comfy with a good book or tv show.
