Elisabeth Richardson Biddle

Doctor, Parent, Scientist

I grew up in Denver, CO and left to attend Mount Holyoke College. In 1986, I graduated from Colorado State U. College of Veterinary Medicine. After an internship at the Animal Medical Center in New York City, I practiced for two years in Long Island. I returned to the Animal Medical Center to complete a 3 year residency in small animal surgery. I was a clinical instructor of small animal surgery at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine for two years before joining VSA (new name Sage; centers for veterinary specialty and emergency care)in 1994. I have been a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons since 1996. I married Mike Biddle in 1998 and we have 2 children, Jessie (10) and Nicky (6).

One medicine reflects the fact that the health of one species is intertwined with many others and humans are not immune to or somehow above this. As a small animal specialist, I see animals cope with illness and disabilities with inspirational grace and spirit.
