Introducing Dr. Christine Stevens!!
We are so excited to be welcoming a new doctor to our practice, starting today!
A little about Dr. Stevens:
Dr. Christine Stevens is an experienced veterinarian who is excited to join the Puyallup Valley Veterinary team. Dr. Stevens is a Western Washington native who knew from a young age that she wanted to become a veterinarian - a career that combines her love of animals with her love of science. She grew up in Covington surrounded by dogs, cats and horses. Dr. Stevens obtained a bachelors degree in Animal Sciences in 2002, followed by her Veterinary Degree at Washington State University in 2006.
Following graduation from veterinary school Dr. Stevens moved back to Western Washington where she has lived and worked ever since. While she loves all animals, she particularly enjoys geriatric animals, pediatrics and pain management. After witnessing her own elderly large breed dogs struggle with mobility issues early in her career she decided to obtain additional training and certification in Veterinary Rehabilitation and Acupuncture to be able to offer additional treatments for patients struggling with mobility and pain. Dr. Stevens greatly enjoys forming bonds with her clients and patients, low stress handling and client education. She loves that every day in the clinic brings different cases and new learning opportunities - her goal is to learn something new every day.
When she is not in the clinic, you might find her at a hockey rink with her two sons and husband (Go Kraken!), reading books, spending time with her own pets (a golden retriever, a german shepherd, a ridiculous yorkshire terrier and 4 crazy cats) or volunteering for a local animal rescue group. Dr. Stevens often has foster pets in her home (or her pockets) and particularly enjoys helping special needs rescue animals.
