Dr. Gabriela Villanueva, DVM

Dr. Villanueva earned her Bachelors degree from Brown University, studying a combined degree focused on biology and anthropology. She went to Vet school at Tufts University and earned a DVM/MPH dual degree in 2017.

Her first job as a veterinarian was at Ocean State Vet Specialists as an ER veterinarian. She then came to CAH in February 2021, she will be celebrating 2 years with us very soon!

Her favorite thing about working in vet med is the variety the job offers! From first puppy/kitten appointments to caring for the seniors (she has a soft spot for these guys); client education, and the problem solving aspect of the job that requires different skills to not only help animals feel better but to find the right solution for each family, and in doing so supporting the human-animal bond!

Outside of work, Dr. V loves to travel to new places and visit friends. She loves spending time with her family in DC. She can never say no go going out to eat at different restaurants and trying delicious foods! Dr. Villanueva has two cats! Muenster (aka Munsie) and Ceci (means chickpea in Italian!). Dogs in the future… maybe a pug! They are her favorite!!
