Rosemarie Niznik, DVM, CVA, CVSMT
Growing up in Northeastern Pennsylvania, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian since grade school. In 1990, I graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine attaining my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. I enjoy practicing small animal veterinary medicine as a relief veterinarian and the diversity in professional experience this career choice has given me.
