We welcomed Dr. deSagun to Petcare in January 2018. She is well-rounded in general medicine and surgery and her knowledge and skills are a tremendous asset to our practice. She has been warmly received by our staff and clients. When asked to comment on her first year and thoughts about Petcare, she notes “Working in a small practice, my colleagues become family. And we project that welcoming family feels to our clients and patients. It is this kinship that can be missing in a larger clinic and makes us unique as a practice.”
Dr. deSagun was born and raised in New York. She attended Saint Anselm College in Manchester NH for her undergraduate degree and majored in Biology. Dr. deSagun felt very lucky to get accepted into vet school right after college and attended Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 1994. After vet school, she was accepted into a private practice small animal internship in New Haven, CT and has been practicing in CT since.
Dr. deSagun is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Association, and the Veterinary Information Network.
