Over the years, she has had a wide variety of pets share her home, including freshwater fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, ferrets, rabbits and cats. In her free time, Dr. Herbert also loves to ride horses and compete in hunter/jumper competitions.

Dr. Herbert will never say no to sushi or dining out at local restaurants! She loves to cook and enjoys watching Top Chef. In her free time, it’s not uncommon to catch her reading the latest novel by Sarah J. Maas.

She received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from The University of Illinois in May of 2012.

Although she has an interest in exotic pet medicine, she is passionate about working with her dog and cat patients too!

Dr. Herbert has also completed the WAVMA Certified Aquatic Veterinarian (CertAqV) program. The CertAqV credential indicates she has attained the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to be competent in aquatic veterinary medicine. There are not many veterinarians in the United States that have this certification, and Dr. Herbert is proud to be one of them. She is excited to provide veterinary care to aquatic pets, such as fish, sharks, eels, coral, and marine invertebrates.

Dr. Herbert believes all animals deserve quality care regardless of whether they have fur, fins, scales, or feathers.
