Dr. Kristen Hartford graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2014, but her journey in veterinary medicine began much earlier. She started working in the veterinary field as a technician in 2002, with the goal of one day becoming a veterinarian. After years of gaining hands-on experience, she went on to pursue that dream and has been caring for patients ever since.
Dr. Hartford enjoys working with dogs and cats and has a special interest in veterinary behavior and acupuncture. She believes in taking the time to understand each patient as an individual and values working closely with pet owners to develop thoughtful, compassionate approaches to their pets’ care.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Hartford enjoys spending time with her animals and pursuing her love of horses, gardening, and the outdoors. Her own animal family includes two dogs, a horse, two red-footed tortoises, and a leopard gecko.
She is excited to be part of the team and looks forward to getting to know the patients and families in the community.
