Marc Kanchuk, DVM
Looking back on his scholastic career, one would think Dr. Kanchuk enjoys going to school. While attending UC Davis, he obtained three degrees (BS, MS, DVM.) His master research and publications explored the reasons why cats gain weight after neutering. After graduating from veterinary school, Dr. Kanchuk went "back to school" of sorts by first undergoing an intense one year internship in emergency, critical care, surgery and interenal medicine. He then went onto further study the specialized field of radiology where he was trained in ultrasonography and ran the radioactive iodine program for the treatment of feline hyperthyroidism at the Veterinary Imaging Center of San Diego.
Dr. Kanchuk loves working with animals and their owners and feels that he is not just treating the family pet, but a family member. At home he has three hairy family members (two terrier mixes and a cat) and is married to a wonderful woman who happens to be a veterinarian at a nearby clinic.
