Ekaterina Mendoza-Kuznetsova DVM, DipECVD
- Clinical Assistant Professor
Dr. Mendoza-Kuznetsova believes that communication with the owner is one of the most important and enjoyable parts of her work. She believes that doctors cannot be effective in their job unless the owner understands the diagnostic and treatment process.
She strongly believes that the main task for any dermatologist is to work as a team with the owner, as they both have the same purpose – to help the pet. The goal of her appointments is to provide the most accurate information to the owner and to work on this purpose together.
She has experience that allows her to use professional intuition, helping to choose the most appropriate diagnostic or treatment plan even in difficult and not “classical” clinical situations.
