She strives to uphold and build upon the values and traditions on which the practice was established. Lexi was awarded a Bachelor’s Degree from Cornell University and went on to earn her doctorate with honors from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. She has a special interest in internal medicine and laparoscopic surgery. Her love for animals and the human-animal bond provided her with the framework to be the nurturing, caring clinician that she is. Lexi brings a fine balance of current medicine and clinical knowledge with genuine compassion to the practice.
She enjoys outdoor activities including running and hiking as well as spending time with her husband and sons. Lexi shares her life with two rescued pets: a dog named Ru and a cat named Sooki.
