Dr. Varun Seth

DVM


Education 
BS in Neuroscience - University of Colorado
DVM - University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 2019 with a degree in Neuroscience, Dr. Seth spent one year with the Maryland Park Service and another year with the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. He was pre-med throughout college, but it never felt quite right for him.  As he spent two years moving around and exploring a career in conservation; veterinary medicine felt like a good combination of his love for conservation, animals, and medicine.  

Dr. Seth loves interacting with so many different species every day, especially exotics. It provides a unique challenge that he enjoys. Every case is a mystery when it first presents, and piecing that puzzle together is really gratifying. 

In Dr. Seth’s free time he enjoys hiking, going camping, cooking, playing video games, and drinking fancy coffee.
