A 1991 graduate of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, I have lived and worked in the DC area since 1967. I truly appreciate the value of providing the excellent care and service that ensure a loyal clientele. |

Lesley Cowan is our new Practice Manager. She brings 10 years of expertise as a small business owner (the award-winning Teller Wines in Lewes, DE) and an additional 20+ years of staff and business management experience while working for resorts, hotels and restaurants as local as DC and Baltimore and as far-flung as California and Alaska. Lesley has a collegial approach to team building, highly developed customer service skills and a track record of hands-on leadership.
Lesley’s favorite pastimes are traveling, scuba diving and exploration. When she is not traveling, she loves being foster mom to her friends’ and family’s four-legged (and three-legged!) furry friends and is a true animal lover. Her desire for new challenges has brought her to Silver Spring Animal Hospital and she’s looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pets.

Staff Testimonials"I've always had a keen interest in animals and knew from an early age I wanted to work with them. I love the variety of working in an animal hospital where there's always something interesting happening. I am constantly learning new things. When I'm home, I enjoy my four fat & easily excited rats."

"I've been an animal lover all my life. It's been a pleasure to be a part of an establishment not knowing I would be here for 16 years plus! Seeing the animals daily and knowing we are a family here and not just co-workers makes my day. I can't stress enough how much I love the camaraderie at Silver Spring Animal Hospital."
