Michelle Panek, DVM

I have worked in emergency veterinary medicine since the start of my career. I love the variety in cases and connecting with families during a very stressful time. My favorite aspects of ER are stabilizing cardiac patients and performing emergency procedures (-centesis, laceration repairs, chest tube placement, blocked cats).

I moved to Charleston with my fiancé and two dogs, Wilson (a golden retriever) and Reese (a mini labradoodle). I am happy to be a part of the CVRC team!
