Rebecca Stronger graduated from Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1997. She has extensive experience working in Referral Center Emergency/Critical Care Medicine, as well as in General Practice. She also has a special interest and advanced training in Veterinary Anesthesia and thrives doing the kind of work that feels most like saving lives. Using mostly blood, sweat, a quick wit and maybe more than a few tears, she opened Brooklyn Roots in 2016. She was born and raised in Brooklyn and has also left the neighborhood quite a few times. She is fiercely loyal to her friends, her family, and to her patients. She thinks that client education is just as important as the medicine that she practices, and will always do everything in her power to help her patients and their families in the ways that they need. She also really really loves handstands [citation].
