Dr. Alicia Finger

Biography

 Dr. Alicia is originally from the suburbs of Syracuse NY, and grew up riding horses and volunteering at the local shelter which is how she became interested in veterinary medicine.  Dr. Alicia received a BA in Biological Sciences and a Minor in Environmental Resource Management from Binghamton University while on an athletic scholarship in Track and Cross Country.   After graduation, she moved to Northern New York and worked as an assistant herdsman on a large dairy farm for almost a year until deciding to go back to veterinary school with interests in mixed animal medicine. During her rigorous studies at the University of Missouri, she was employed by the Emergency and Critical Care team as an assistant on nights and weekends to gain more experience.  After graduating with her DVM, Dr. Alicia’s interests changed from mixed to small animal medicine as she became more compassionate for the human animal bond that small animal medicine is centered around. She recently moved to the west coast as a longtime dream of hers has been to get “out west.”  Dr. Alicia has three pets and an amazing human companion, named Ryan. Together they share two dogs, German Shepard Huxley and Lab mix Byron, and a kitty named Arthur.  In her spare time she is out hiking the beautiful surrounding trails, biking, camping or running.  She also loves to travel and meet new people.
