Katherine Alley, DVM

Surgeon Katherine was born in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and graduated from the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, in 2005, continuing to serve 5 years in the US Marine Corps after graduation as a legal administration officer. She discovered a love of medicine while working as a volunteer for a Combined Medical Exercise, helping to teach Iraqi civilians basic medical care during her deployment in 2007. After her deployment to Iraq, she continued her medical education while serving in the Marines stateside by becoming an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and working on an ambulance on weekends, stationed in Arizona. After an honorable discharge from the Marines, she attended Colorado State University, where she graduated with a Master's degree in Biomedical Science and a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2015. Katherine has a love of sports and athletic movement, competing in cross-country ski events in the winter and mountain biking events in the summer. She has attended numerous continuing education courses over the years to refine her skills in evaluating lameness in animals and, when necessary, pursuing surgical treatment. She loves helping her patients recover from injuries and seeing them return to the activities they love.
