Dr. Barone first connected with Urban Vet Care when she was preparing to start vet school after spending 8 years in the non-profit sector. More than 10 years later, she was thrilled to rejoin the Urban Vet Care team as an associate veterinarian.
Growing up in South Florida, Dr. Barone fell in love with animals of all stripes and sizes at a young age. Her family kept a small menagerie of pet birds, guinea pigs, and dogs and she also relished the opportunity to observe Florida’s abundant wildlife in their natural habitat. She attended University of Chicago, where she played on the Women’s Soccer Team, and worked with non-profit environmental and consumer protection organizations upon graduation.
Anxious to reconnect with her passion for animals, she enrolled in Colorado State University’s combined DVM/MBA program. Since graduating from veterinary school, she has worked in small animal private practice. She has a special interest in chronic pain management and enjoys using acupuncture to improve the day-to-day comfort of her dog and cat patients. Dr. Barone finds it very rewarding to care for patients over all the stages of their life – from early puppy wellness appointments through geriatric care.
