Liz Russell, DVM
Dr. Liz Russell graduated from Tufts Veterinary School in 1996 and has worked in many aspects of veterinary medicine. She worked for two years with horses in Pennsylvania, but decided to move back to Boston to be closer to friends and family. She worked in West Bridgewater for the next 9 years. For 5 years, she worked in an emergency and critical care clinic caring for pets with serious illness and trauma before switching to the general care arm of the practice where she practiced for 4 years. In 2007, Dr. Russell decided to follow her dream and open her own practice which has culminated in the opening of Healthy Paws Veterinary Clinic. Having worked in so many areas, she recognizes the need for a strong bond between the client, the pet, and the veterinarian to ensure a healthy and fulfilling relationship for all throughout the pet's life. Medical decisions can be very tough for people, but having a trusted veterinarian who knows you and your pet will make difficult decisions easier.

Amanda Cronin, DVM
Dr. Cronin graduated from Tufts Veterinary School in 2006 and worked in Connecticut and Rhode Island before returning to Massachusetts.
