Dr. Lauren Connolly was always surrounded by animals growing up in Katonah, NY. She has always been passionate about science but didn’t realize her love of animals and science was really her passion for Veterinary Medicine until college. Dr. Connolly earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Wesleyan University, where she studied Biology and Astronomy.

She worked in an animal-assisted therapy program with animals and children before attending Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Her professional interests include surgery, cardiology, and internal medicine. She is both a Fear Free certified and USDA-accredited veterinarian.

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Connolly loves cooking (and eating), hiking, and spending time with friends, family, and her dog, Bea.
