Dr. Neitz’s Veterinary Journey

Dr. Diana Neitz graduated from Louisiana State University in 2008. Her journey into veterinary medicine began with a desire to better understand animal health so she could provide the best possible care for her own pets while helping other pet parents do the same. For Dr. Neitz, one of the most rewarding aspects of being a veterinarian is making a meaningful difference in the lives of furry companions and the people who love them. Her dedication to improving pets' well-being has also inspired her interest in complementary approaches to veterinary care. She is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) who enjoys combining her medical knowledge with compassionate, individualized patient care.
