Courtney Maeda, VMD - NEW YORK, NY

Dr. Courtney Maeda was born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii. She left her island home for "the main land" to attend Beloit College, in Wisconsin, where she graduated in 2000, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry. Dr. Maeda went on to earn her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. After graduating, she entered directly into private practice in New Jersey, where she hit the ground running to care for her furry patients. Before joining the team here at West Chelsea Veterinary, Dr. Maeda worked for two years at The Humane Society of New York. While there, she greatly enjoyed the rewarding work of treating animals on their way to permanent homes. Her special interests include surgery and new puppy and kitten visits, where she has the opportunity to get to know a pet and their family early-on, and be a part of their treatment throughout their lives. Dr. Maeda's hobbies include hanging with friends, visiting family in Hawaii, finding good, new restaurants, and spending time with her own kitties. She lives in Manhattan with her three cats, Scooter, Patches and Lowell.
