Dr. Emily Stuart, DVM

Dr. Emily Stuart grew up in Winston-Salem, NC. During her childhood, she kept many pets, including dogs, cats, fish, parakeets, gerbils and a rabbit. Once in college, she adopted her first ferret, which started a 13 year tradition. Her first degree was a BA in Fine Art from Bard College. She moved to Portland and began working with horses as an assistant trainer at a local barn. She decided to return to school in order to prepare for application to veterinary school and later graduated from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine.

She entered private practice in order to build and nurture long-term relationships with patients and their owners. She and her husband Joel live in NE Portland, where they enjoy hiking with their two dogs, Zoe and Calvin. They live with a 50 pound Sulcata Tortoise named Rasputin, who was rescued at the Tufts Wildlife Clinic. Dr. Stuart also enjoys riding horses, reading, running, camping and gardening.
