Dr. Kira Noordwijk is our new surgeon, but she will also be assisting with our in-hospital and ambulatory appointments.
After receiving her B.S in Animal Science from Oregon State University, she went on to obtain her Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM equivalent) from the Royal Veterinary College, London, in 2017. Since then, she has completed a rotating equine internship at Chaparral Veterinary Medical Center in Cave Creek, Arizona, an equine surgery internship at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington, Kentucky, a research fellowship at Cornell University, and a rotating equine internship at Mississippi State University. She then completed a residency in Equine Surgery and Sports Medicine at Auburn University in pursuit of diplomate status in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. After completing her residency in 2024, Dr. Noordwijk stayed at Auburn University to complete her PhD in Biomedical Sciences and to support their equine emergency services.
