DVM
The Calusa family is proud to welcome Dr, Christine Fellacher to our staff. While new to us, she is not new to the South Florida community, having worked as an assistant at a local veterinary practice from age 16. Despite her passion for veterinary medicine, she worked her way through nursing school at Broward College and FAU. Upon completion, she realized that four legged creatures where much more her calling, so she followed her heart and enrolled in St. George’s University in Grenada, where she not only received her DVM degree in 2006, but survived the onslaught of hurricane Ivan that slammed the island during her junior year!
Upon graduation, she returned to her roots in South Florida and spent four years rehabilitating injured local critters at The South Florida Wildlife Center before entering the pet realm at the practice where she spent her precollege years. There, for the next 16 years, she developed a great reputation and a strong following.
Dr. Fellacher now resides here in Boca, with her son, their 4 cats, a bird, miscellaneous fish, and 3 rescued dogs from Grenada and Barbados. They love yoga, and she says that she’s an excellent cook but we are still waiting for verification of that rumor.
