Meet our Doctors

Melissa Pineda-Perez, DVM

Rotating Veterinarian

I grew up in Northern Virginia and have wanted to become a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Animal
and Poultry Sciences from Virginia Tech, and then earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at North Carolina State University. Go Hokies
and Go Pack!

My professional interests include small animal and exotic animal medicine. I am also passionate about community outreach and using my skills as a
veterinarian to support both pets and the people who care for them.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the city and spending time with my family. I also have two budgies who have been by my side through every
move since college.

I am excited to be back near home in the Northern Virginia and DC area to join the team at Friendship Hospital for Animals and begin this next
chapter!
