We Offer Calm And Reliable Care
Rebecca Steers, DVM, CVA
Veterinarian/Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist/Owner
Dr. Rebecca Steers became a veterinarian because she wanted to help people, with the bonus of helping animals too! Dr. Steers practices both conventional Western veterinary medicine and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, so you can benefit from her belief that the more tools she has to help her patients, the better. Having graduated from Boston College with a degree in Spanish literature, she loves being bilingual because itโs another way to connect with pet owners.
The variety in Dr. Steersโ background helps her to see how each patient and family is unique. After gaining experience in shelters, research, primary care practice, and specialty practice, Dr. Steers attended the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. She eventually put those language skills to work doing research in Mexico. When Dr. Steers graduated from Tufts University in 2010, she was commissioned as a Captain in the US Army in Okinawa, Japan. There she earned two Army Achievement Medals: one for her successful contribution to opening a new veterinary treatment facility and another for her direct involvement in Operation Tomodachiโs success after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
Dr. Steers speaks nationally and locally on a range of topics, including leadership, mentorship, diversity and inclusion, and a variety of clinical topics, for both her veterinary colleagues and the community as a whole. However, her favorite moments are the one-on-one conversations she has every day with pet parents and the opportunities to learn more from each other.
When Dr. Steers isnโt working, she enjoys getting outdoors and hiking, even in Floridaโs flat terrain, and she loves to travel. She has a soft spot for her senior citizen patients, so she tends to take in older pets, like her current dog named Jackson (also known as Goober). But, if you make her choose, her favorite animal is the cheetah.
Bucket List Item: Visit every state in the US and every continent in the world!
