Amy Nagy, VMD, MS, MRCVS

Prior to attaining her veterinary degree, Dr. Nagy worked as a professional horsewoman with 3-day event horses and racehorses in the United Kingdom and with hunter-jumpers in southern Florida. This first career sparked a deep interest and commitment to the concerns of sport horses and motivated her to return to school and pursue a degree in veterinary medicine.

 She received her veterinary training at the University of Pennsylvania, graduated in 2002 and then completed an equine internship at Byron Reid and Associates in Loxahatchee, Florida. After her internship she returned to New Bolton Center and spent a year as a Research Associate with Dr. James Orsini in the surgery department. Dr. Nagy then moved to Austria where she spent 2 ½ years training as a surgeon under an ACVS Diplomate at the Veterinary University of Vienna. During this time she developed a keen interest in surgical colic and critical care. She returned to the United States to pursue a Master’s degree in equine surgical colic with Dr. Nathaniel White at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Nagy is excited to join the Equine Center as a staff surgeon and looks forward to becoming an active member of the local horse community. She enjoys running, cycling and taking long hikes with her dog Lola.
