Danielle Spade, DVM
We would like to introduce you to our new intern, Dr. Danielle Spade. She is a graduate of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine Class ‘06. She completed her clinical year at Texas A&Ms’ College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Spade began working at the Los Alamitos racetrack in 1990 as a groom for Stoltzfus Stables where she learned the finer points of Standardbred racing. During a visit to Vernon Downs in upstate New York with Stoltzfus Stables, she fell in love with the area and stayed there for six years. In New York, she found a job at Triple Creek Farm, working as a groom riding and showing hunter/jumpers. Soon thereafter, she rekindled her interest in veterinary medicine while shadowing a large animal veterinarian. In 1996, she moved back to San Diego, where she finished her undergraduate degree while working for Foxcroft Farms as an assistant trainer. Dr. Spade completed her BS in Biology at Cal State San Marcos in 2002. Dr. Spade has a passion for equine lameness and sports medicine. Dr. Spade is highly dedicated to her job, and will be a wonderful addition to our practice.
