Biography
Dr. Morgan was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia. She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Virginia Tech, and completed her veterinary training at the University of Pennsylvania. She remained at the University of Pennsylvania for her rotating internship and internal medicine residency and attained board certification in internal medicine in 2008. After completing her residency, Dr. Morgan moved to Los Angeles, California, where she worked at a large referral practice for 4 years and developed an interventional radiology and endoscopy program while also working as a staff internist. She then moved back to the east coast (Connecticut), where she worked at a large referral practice for 7.5 years, then as an internal medicine consultant for a large reference laboratory for 2 years.
Dr. Morgan enjoys all aspects of internal medicine, including urology, nephrology, gastroenterology, immunology, and hematology. She has expertise in non-cardiac ultrasonography, endoscopy, interventional radiology, and interventional endoscopy. While working as a consultant, she has enjoyed working as a team with primary care veterinarians to help them provide their patients with the best care possible.
In her time away from work, Dr. Morgan enjoys spending time with her children, her husband (a veterinary surgeon), her dog (a “Finnish Tuxedohound” named Linus), and her cat (a long-haired orange tabby of questionable temperament named Einstein). She enjoys reading, knitting, and any activity involving sunshine, a beach, and hot weather.

What is a board-certified veterinary internal medicine specialist?
A veterinary internal medicine specialist is a veterinarian who has completed advanced training in internal medicine (including a one-year internship and three-year residency) following graduation from their veterinary college. The residency training culminates with a comprehensive examination covering all aspects of veterinary small animal internal medicine. Once these requirements have been fulfilled, the veterinarian is considered to be a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM).
The umbrella of small animal internal medicine includes many sub-disciplines including gastroenterology (esophageal, stomach and intestinal disease), hepatology (liver and pancreatic disease), endocrinology (hormonal disease), infectious diseases, urology (urinary tract disease), nephrology (kidney disease), respiratory medicine (nose, airway and lung disease), and hematology & immunology (blood cell and immune-disease). In many cases, the signs of a patient may include many of these organ systems. Due to their holistic approach, internal medicine specialists may also manage cases of patients with neurologic, cardiovascular or cancerous diseases, especially when these patients also share diseases within the scope of internal medicine.
