Dr. Berger was born and raised just outside of Portland, Oregon.  Her interest in veterinary medicine started young and she started volunteering at her local zoo at 12 years old (lions, tigers, and bears….oh my!).  After completing her undergraduate degree in Biology at Mills College in Oakland, CA she pursued her DVM at Ross University of Veterinary Medicine.  She first met Dr. Jones in Port Jervis, NY when they were both new graduates.  After a 14 year return to the Bay Area of California, Dr. Berger returned to the East Coast in 2018 and considers herself very lucky to be working with her friend and colleague again.  Dr. Berger lives with her husband and her teenage daughter and when she’s not at work she enjoys traveling, cooking, crochet, hunting for the best oyster bar in Virginia, and reading.  Her special interests are soft tissue surgery, dentistry, geriatric care, and pain management.  Dr. Berger is also conversational in Spanish.
