My name is Dr. Kristy Bennett. I grew up in Columbia, Maryland. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from the University of Maryland at College Park, I attended the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating with honors in 2001 with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Following graduation from vet school, I spent several years practicing at small animal practices in Maryland to develop and perfect my medical and surgical skills before moving to England with my husband, where I practiced in Oxfordshire.

In 2010, My husband and I returned to Maryland where I practiced at several small animal practices (clinics) in Maryland. I also pursued advanced training in soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and oral surgery.

It was in 2014 that I purchased the long-established Montgomery Village Animal Hospital. Under my directorship, MVAH focuses on dogs and cats exclusively and implements a low-stress handling technique advocated by respected experts Sophia Yin and Patricia McConnell.

Away from work, I enjoy visiting my parents in Bethany Beach, scuba diving, spending time with my husband, Craig, and enjoying the company of our two cats, Morticia and Wednesday.
