Veterinary Specialty Hospital of the Carolinas Adds New Medical Oncologist

Cary, N.C.  –December 3, 2008  –The Veterinary Specialty Hospital of the Carolinas (VSH) recently hired Dr. Angie Kozicki within the oncology service.  Dr. Kozicki joins two existing oncologists. Her focus will be the medical management of cancer patients. She will be responsible for seeing cancer patients, performing medical diagnostics on these patients, consulting with the surgical staff to coordinate surgery and overseeing chemotherapy.  She will also assist in the care of radiation oncology patients.

Dr. Kozicki received her doctorate from the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine where she developed a strong interest in oncology.  Dr. Kozicki dedicated herself to obtaining advanced training by first completing a general internship followed by an oncology internship with two different groups of veterinary specialists in Detroit, Michigan.  A one-year fellowship at the University of Colorado’s Health Sciences Center preceded her acceptance to a residency program at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine.  Dr. Kozicki is certified as a specialist in medical oncology through the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

“Angie brings a wealth of experience to VSH,” said Veterinary Specialty Hospital co-founder, Dr. Kevin Concannon.  “Her passion for oncology is not only evident in her extensive training but it is also manifested in the commitment she shows to her patients and their owners.  Her ability to work as part of a coordinated effort to help our patients is clearly evident to those of us who work with her.”
