Dr. JULIA BUMBERRY
Dr. Bumberry graduated from Oklahoma State University with her doctorate in Veterinary medicine in 2019. Born and raised here in the Ozarks, she practically grew up around exotic species as she worked as a zookeeper at the Dickerson Park zoo in Springfield. She is bringing her love for exotic animal species with her to the practice and will be seeing almost all exotics and pocket pets! Her passion for wildlife has guided her to aquatic medicine and the unique challenges it provides. When she is not at the clinic Dr. Bumberry is most likely spending time with her rescue dog Ivy, who when she came in for a spay it was love at first sight!”
