Senior Clinician

On the Job:

When Corrine Camero, DVM, had her childhood cat and best friend, Cali, diagnosed with renal failure, she was told there was nothing she could do to help her. She sought a second opinion and was impressed with the thoroughness and intelligence of the young doctor who helped Cali live another five years. At the same time that she was fighting to save Cali, Dr. Camero was loving her biology and chemistry classes. Suddenly, it became clear to her that veterinary medicine was her calling. Dr. Camero went on to volunteer in Tennessee where she performed free spays and neuters to low-income pet owners, in New Orleans where she helped provide veterinary services for post-Katrina shelter residents, and in Ohio where she provided veterinary care for dogs that prisoners care for as a part of their rehabilitation. She enjoys all aspects of emergency medicine, but finds surgical emergencies and critical cases particularly interesting.

Education:

Internship, Michigan Veterinary Specialists, Southfield, MI
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus

Off Duty:

When not helping heal pets at work or in the community, Dr. Camero enjoys spending time with her pets – Taylor, a manx cat and the boss of the household; her cat River, better known as “Little One;” Meg, the attention-hogging kitty; and Bubba, a shy American foxhound.
