Kathryn Kirstein, VMD

Dr. Kirstein was born and raised in Washington D.C. and attended the veterinary school at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1999. In 2000, she completed an internship at Oradell Animal Hospital in New Jersey. She returned to Washington D.C. where she worked full time at a small animal hospital. In January, 2002, the call of the Pacific Northwest brought her to Portland. She joined us in June, 2003. When not working, she enjoys the great outdoors, hiking, camping, quirky movies, and playing Frisbee with Norman. She lives with her husband Lance and daughter Pandora. Dr. Kirstein works part time and sees appointments three days a week. She mainly sees dogs and cats.

Our veterinarians have graduated from different universities across the United States.  We believe this diversity creates a wonderful blend of thoughts, ideas, styles, and best ways of approaching the challenges of veterinary medicine. Our doctors meet on a regular basis to talk about cases and evaluate the latest developments and medical breakthroughs. They also attend continuing education seminars and workshops each year to stay current.

All of our doctors are fabulous. You may already have some favorites. Just let us know if you have a specific doctor preference and we’ll make the necessary arrangements.
