Nikita Singhani, D.V.M. - NEW YORK, NY

Dr. Singhani is a native of the New York/New Jersey area. She obtained her undergrad degree at NYU and attended veterinary school at North Carolina State University, School of Veterinary Medicine. She completed a yearlong internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Oradell Animal Hospital in New Jersey and has since worked as emergency veterinarian at a large referral hospital in northern Westchester County.

Dr. Singhani knew at an early age she would dedicate her life to the well-being of animals. She grew up in an animal-loving family, but experienced her real career 'spark' during a trip to India as a child. After witnessing the heartbreaking plight of the stray animal population there, she knew her life path would lead to caring for animals. In fact, Dr. Singhani never forgot that first experience and has since returned to India to volunteer at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Animal Hospital, which is the largest, charity-run animal hospital and shelter in New Delhi.

In her down time, Dr. Singhani enjoys dancing, traveling, playing piano and alto-saxophone. She shares her life with 'Savannah,' a Boxer/Hound mix who she adopted from a shelter in North Carolina.
