Dr. Lauren is a veterinarian with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University (OSU), affectionately noting it as the “other OSU.” Her journey into veterinary medicine began in childhood, driven by a love for animals and a desire to alleviate their suffering while bringing joy and comfort to their caregivers. Driven by a passion for science and learning, she pursued her dream, spending hours in the library to enhance her knowledge.
Her goal in every patient visit is not only to help the patient but also to ensure that the client leaves with a better understanding of their pet’s health needs. Dr. Lauren follows the mantra “Be a Badass Love Beam” emphasizing kindness as the number one rule in her household.
Dr. Lauren’s family includes three children: a teenage daughter, a pre-teen son, and her youngest in elementary school. She also shares her home with Rocky, a 4-year-old rescue scruffy mix, and Eevee, a 1-year-old Cavalier rescue. Together, Rocky and Eevee resemble the iconic duo from “Lady and the Tramp.”
Originally from Stamford, CT, Dr. Lauren has lived in eight different states, including North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington. Outside of her veterinary practice, she is actively involved in her children’s hockey and soccer activities. When not at practice, she enjoys engaging in outdoor activities such as mountain biking, hiking, and participating in sports involving sticks.
Dr. Lauren’s life is enriched by the presence of her pets, who have played various roles from companions during outdoor activities to protectors against perceived threats like the mailman and squirrels. Despite the challenges of fur and chewed-up belongings, she can’t imagine her home without the beloved members of her furry family.

Whether it’s teaching Fido a new trick or ensuring Fluffy’s tail wags with delight, Vicki’s expertise knows no bounds. Hailing from the charming shores of Rhode Island (sans the “classic” accent, mind you), Vicki’s love affair with animals started in her aunt’s backyard, where she first discovered the exhilarating world of canine competitive sports. From agility to obedience, Vicki and her furry companions have conquered it all, racking up trophies faster than a greyhound chasing a rabbit! She has participated in agility, junior showmanship, confirmation, obedience, and hunting/field trials. She began training her Irish Setter “Poppy” in agility, junior showmanship, and obedience. She participated in field trials with her aunt’s Flat-coated Retrievers earning Master Hunter titles. Prior to veterinary school, she was training her Shetland Sheepdog “Kipp” in agility with hopes of trying out for the AKC World Team. However, veterinary school got in the way! Her biggest accomplishments have been earning multiple High In Trials with her Irish Setter “Poppy”, Highest Scoring Junior at the Flat-coated Retriever Nationals with her aunt’s dog “Tyma”, and Master of Agility Championship with her Shetland Sheepdog “Trendi”.
When she’s not busy saving the day in the veterinary world, you’ll find Vicki indulging her inner foodie, jet-setting to far-flung destinations, or embarking on epic hiking adventures with her beloved husband, Marcus, and their dynamic duo of Shetland sheepdog sidekicks, Cosmic and Nova.
