Catie DeLuca, a native of Washington, DC, completed her undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University before earning her veterinary degree from the Virginia–Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. She went on to complete an internship at the Mid‑Atlantic Equine Medical Center in New Jersey, and a residency in equine Theriogenology and Master’s Degree at Colorado State University. She became board-certified in Theriogenology and practiced on horses, companion animals, and even the occasional alpaca for several years before transitioning to small‑animal exclusive practice, where she worked for over fifteen years. Within this setting, Dr. DeLuca discovered a strong passion for dentistry, particularly the ability to profoundly impact an animal’s comfort, health, and quality of life through dental surgery. Through residency training in dentistry and oral surgery, Dr. DeLuca is dedicated to deepening her expertise and refining her surgical skills to best serve her patients.
