We understand the importance of finding a veterinarian you and your pet trust, and we appreciate the confidence you’ve placed in us here at VCA Lynnfield by the Lake Animal Hospital. We are extremely proud of our medical team and want to introduce you to our new doctor.

Dr. Gianoulis grew up in Stoneham, Massachusetts, and spent most of her life on the East Coast. She later moved to New Hampshire for her undergraduate studies. She obtained a bachelor's degree in biomedical science from the University of New Hampshire, where she also developed a love for cows and even lived above a dairy farm. Dr. Gianoulis worked with a wide range of animals before pursuing veterinary school, including not only dogs and cats but also large animals and exotics. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Cornell University and is a Fear Free Certified veterinarian.

Aside from her prior experience in emergency, laboratory animal, exotic, and bovine medicine, Dr. Gianoulis is excited to begin her veterinary career in small animal general practice, with special interests in animal behavior and dermatology. She believes that communication and education with pet owners are integral parts of her job, and she will strive to provide the best possible care and options for each beloved furry family member.

Outside the hospital, Dr. Gianoulis keeps busy with hobbies such as hiking, going to the beach, and finding new recipes to cook with her mom. She also enjoys spending time with her friends and partner, as well as going on weekend trips back to upstate New York. Dr. Gianoulis has a lovely young lab mix named Rita, whom she adopted during her veterinary school years, and a crested gecko named Clifford.

Dr. Gianoulis will begin her mentorship with us at the end of June and then transition to accepting appointments in August.
