Dr. Erin Siems was born in Ohio but spent most of her childhood in Virginia. Even from a young age, Dr. Siems always had a passion for science and animals. For the past 7 years, she has been practicing in the Bradenton area and has truly found a place to call home. While she loves all aspects of her work, she enjoys her free time hanging out with her husband and two “kids,” Shaka, a boxer, and Arnold, a boerboel mastiff. She also enjoys paddleboarding, running, and creating culinary experiences in her kitchen [citation][4].
