Holly Brown, DVM, PhD, DACVP
Holly is a veterinarian, board-certified clinical pathologist, and figurative hand-holder. She practiced small animal medicine before, during, and after her specialty training — grateful to have combined her love of clinical practice and the laboratory diagnostics that support it. Hollyremains in the trenches at a general, referral, and emergency practice, where she loves making an impact at the interface of laboratory data and patient care. Holly also serves as Chief Veterinary Educator for Antech Diagnostics — exercising her passion for delivering education about maximizing diagnostic testing, helping veterinary teams get the most from the lab data and, in that way, helping animals live longer, healthier lives. When away from the office, Holly enjoys traveling with her family, snuggling her sugar-sweet bird dog and tripod cat, and dreaming of home renovations that rarely come to fruition.
