Chelsea Whitehouse, DVM
Kristen Lucibello, DVM
I am working at Capeway Veterinary Hospital, a small animal practice in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. I am one of five doctors, two of which have been practicing for over 30 years, one for 15 years, and the other for 2 years. With a mix of experience, a desire to be progressive and up to date is something we all share. We work as a team, discuss cases daily, and have both doctor and staff meetings monthly. The staff is wonderful and supportive of me as a new veterinarian. As grateful as I am for my education at USU and WSU, there is still a lot of learning on the job! I am enjoying learning something new each day, and helping both animals and humans.
After running the gauntlet (known as vet school) I have landed in gorgeous southern Utah at Zion Veterinary Clinic in Hurricane. We are a small animal practice that also welcomes exotic critters through our doors. I am happily living with my best friend Finnian, a Heeler/Catahoula mix and we are always on the lookout for new places to explore outdoors. Life after vet school is wonderful so don’t get discouraged! Also, please, please, please take care of yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually. It is easy to forget about your own needs when everyone is depending on you for help. If you can care for yourself you can care for any living being. Best of luck to you all!"
