Meet Donna Vittorelli, VMD

Dr. Donna Lynn Vittorell is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and a member of several professional organizations, including the AAHA, AVMA, Fear Free, and the Feline VMA. Her approach to veterinary care is both compassionate and practical, with a strong emphasis on client education. She believes in empowering clients to become active partners in their pets' health decisions.

​

Her path to veterinary medicine was inspired by a childhood love for dogs and, most notably, by her Christmas present in high school: a Himalayan kitten named Tucker John. Reading the books of James Herriot further cemented her decision to pursue a career in animal care. Professionally, Dr. Vittorell is passionate about feline medicine and has a specific interest in dentistry, geriatric care, and hospice care.

​

In her free time, she enjoys surfing, visiting her daughter in Massachusetts, and trying new foods. A fun fact about Dr. Vittorell is that she grew up in the family business, Charle’s Pizzeria. Her family of pets includes four cats: Dave, Dizzy Pots, Smooshie, and Archibald, though she hopes to get a dog again one day.
