Dr. Fred Levy, DVM

Dr. Fred Levy grew up in a suburb of New York City. He studied Animal Sciences, then earned his DVM degree at Cornell University. Following graduation, Dr. Levy did his internship training at the Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, took a short, 6-year detour to Gainesville, Florida to practice in an overnight emergency hospital, then settled down in Rhode Island.

For the following 7 years, Dr. Levy worked at the Ocean State Veterinary Specialists as one of their emergency clinicians before leaving ER work for good to join the ranks of general practice and, eventually, the excellent group at Coventry Animal Hospital. It’s exciting to get the opportunity to start a practice from the ground up, and Dr. Levy is looking forward to the challenge. Dr. Levy enjoys just about every part of veterinary medicine but has a strong lean towards surgery.

He’s kept busy at home by his 3 fantastic children, Sarah, Katy, and Tyler, who are continually teaching him new ways to drive a parent crazy (who knew there were so many different ways?!?!). Other residents of the Levy household are two dogs, Benny and Bogaerts, and a bearded dragon named Odell. Outside of work, Dr. Levy tries to find time to hike with his dogs, watch and occasionally coach his children in whatever sports they are playing that season, and hopefully catch any Steelers or Red Sox games that might be on TV at the time.
