Sheena Sanil, DVM is a Veterinary Neurology and Neurosurgery Resident who joined the MedVet Columbus team in July 2019. Dr. Sanil earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences from Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL followed by her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. She completed her internship at the VCA Alameda East Veterinary Hospital in Denver, CO.

Dr. Sanil has special interests ranging from degenerative myelopathy, brain tumors (specifically gliomas), and cervical spondylomyelopathy. She believes that pets have a way of finding the people who need them the most and filling an emptiness we do not even know we have. As a veterinarian, she provides a voice to animals who otherwise can’t tell us what they are thinking, feeling, or when they are uncomfortable or in pain. She loves each and every one of her patients and helping a pet’s family make the toughest decisions about their pet’s health and quality of life.

If she isn’t practicing veterinary medicine, you will most likely find Dr. Sanil playing tennis, painting, or visiting the beach.

What is a veterinary specialist?

A veterinary specialist is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine who has completed extensive post-graduate education and clinical training in a focused area. After passing a certifying board examination in their chosen specialty field, they are called a diplomate of their specialty college and considered an expert in this area of veterinary medicine. There are over 20 veterinary specialties recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

This expertise is complementary to the care provided by your family veterinarian. You may be referred to a MedVet hospital if your pet needs specific equipment and/or expertise that your veterinarian does not have. Collaboration between you, your veterinarian, and your veterinary specialist is critical to providing the best outcome for your pet.
