Carrie Breaux, DVM, MVSc, Diplomate, AVCO is a Board-certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist who joined WestVet in 2008. As a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist, Dr. Breaux has the distinction of being one of an elite group of veterinary specialists practicing worldwide.

Dr. Breaux says her desire to pursue veterinary medicine simply sprang from her love of science and animals. Growing up on a farm in Illinois, she was surrounded by animals of all kinds including horses, cows, sheep, cats, dogs, and even a few pigs. She earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Biology from Eastern Illinois University, followed by a BS in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Illinois in Champaign. She continued at the U of I, graduating with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2001.
