Dr. Ashley Deforno is committed to both traditional and cutting-edge veterinary practices to ensure your pets are always in the safest hands. Her award shelf boasts the shiny Gold Certificate from the Veterinary Business Management Association – but if you ask her, it’s the small moments with pets and their owners that truly count. Away from the vet table, Dr. Deforno is probably riding horses, diving into her latest craft project, or setting up a cozy campsite. She’s also the go-to person for campfire snacks among her friends. Dr. Deforno is all about hard work and evidence-based care, but she’s big-hearted, too. She believes in adapting plans to suit every pet owner’s pocket without compromising care. “Doing a test? Only if it truly helps your pet,” she says with a wink. Her mission? “Hard work, sharp science, and heaps of love for our team, the pets, and you.” Drop by East Market Veterinary Center, and you’ll feel that love from the first “Hello!” [citation]
