Dr. Carey grew up in New England, surrounded by guinea pigs, dogs, goats, and horses. She earned her bachelor’s degree in animal science at the University of Connecticut and wrote her thesis on the physiology of stranded seal pups. Then, she earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. While there, a research project on immunocontraception in free-roaming horses brought her to the Western U.S., where she immediately fell in love with the land. After practicing small animal medicine in CT and MA for several years, she moved to Southern Utah in 2022 to continue her practice.
Dr. Carey most enjoys internal medicine, ophthalmology, and neurology cases. In her spare time, she usually hikes, does CrossFit, or plays with her mare, Pekan. Hiking partners include Gypsy, a congenitally deaf cattle dog cross, and Chico, a rambunctious Chihuahua cross.
