Throughout his working and professional education experiences in veterinary medicine, Dr. Reed has always been interested in how the body can heal in response to injury or illness. This led him down the road to specialize in small animal surgery. He completed a rotating internship at the Ontario Veterinary College in Canada and a surgical internship with the Veterinary Specialists of Rochester, NY. Dr. Reed completed his residency training in Annapolis, MD with Chesapeake Veterinary Surgical Specialists.  

On what he enjoys most about working at WVRC…“What I appreciate most about surgery is the opportunity to directly interact with the anatomy and/or physiology of a patient to help the body heal – I find this to be a rewarding professional challenge.”
