Dr. Amanda Walter:

Dr Amanda Walter originally hails from Long Island, but spent the majority of her formative years in north Florida.  Like Drs Solomon and Schwartz, she graduated from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 2002, and remained in Florida until the fall of 2007 when she joined the Center for Veterinary Care. During her years in Florida working as an emergency and critical care veterinarian, she developed her skills working with a variety of species: dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, small rodents (rats & mice) and reptiles such as snakes and developed a wonderful rapport with clients as ‘the other family doctor.’ When she moved to NY, she became involved with the Alliance for Safety for Animals and People, an organization that helps victims of domestic violence and their pets find shelter for both two and four legged family members. Outside of her life as a veterinarian, Dr Walter enjoys photography, hiking, exploring NYC, and spending time with her own furry family members: an Irish Wolfhound mix, Kayla and a lab mix, Otis and her three cats.
