Keystone Veterinary Emergency & Referral is excited to announce the return of our surgical services with the addition of our new surgeon Dr. Michaela Gruenheid!
Dr. Michaela Gruenheid was born and raised in Germanv. She began her veterinary medicine education in Budapest, Hungary and in 2009, completed her veterinary medicine degree in
Munich, Germany. During her last year of veterinary school, she participated in several externships in the United Sates. It was during this time that she decided that she eventually wanted to return to the States because she appreciated the training that the students, interns, and residents received. While working at two referral practices in Germany for almost 5 years, Michaela completed the ECFVG® certification (Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates) to get licensed in the United
States. After receiving the ECFVG® certification in 2014, Dr.Gruenheid was accepted into a surgical fellowship program at Michigan State University. Later that year, she was offered a surgical internship at Washington State University. In 2015,
Michaela moved to Ohio where she completed her residency and master's program at The Ohio State University. She then moved to Pennsylvania in 2018, where she worked as an orthopedic and
soft tissue surgeon at the Veterinary Referral Center in Malvern. Dr. Gruenheid authored a paper that discusses the anesthetic risks in brachycephalic dogs, and her special interests include fracture management, orthopedic surgeries, airway surgery and thoracic surgery.
Michaela and her husband were married in
2013, while still living in Germany. Together they have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Summer and Sky.
Patient referrals can be made via telephone at 484-454-5412.
We are looking forward to working closely in
coordinating client care and providing top-quality care for our community.
