Dr. Michelle Werner graduated from the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in June 1996. Prior to working at Animal Kind, she worked in a small practice in Staten Island for nine years.

She has saltwater fish, two lizards, two dachshunds named Corey and Shayna, and three cats, two of which are named Matilda and Frodo. Corey is a long-haired English cream who is very loving but shy. Shayna is a very spoiled smooth silver dapple who loves people. Matilda is a fat and jolly cat but a little slow. Frodo is a very independent domestic with short hair who can be demanding.

Michelle’s hobbies include saltwater fishing, horseback riding, traveling, and collecting parking tickets in the Park Slope area.
