Dr. Carissa Norquest is a board-certified veterinary oncologist who is passionate about combining advanced medical care with compassionate, individualized support for pets and their families. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Auburn University before completing both her rotating internship and medical oncology residency at the University of Missouri.

During her first year of veterinary school, Dr. Norquest found herself navigating a cancer diagnosis in her own childhood pet. This experience led her to find her calling in oncology as she developed a strong appreciation for client communication and an understanding for the art of guiding families through complex medical decisions. Dr. Norquest’s clinical interests include a personalized approach to chemotherapy, ultrasound-guided diagnostics, and collaborative multimodal cancer care. She is passionate about client education and empowering pet owners to make informed decisions with compassion and confidence.

Although Dr. Norquest resides in Ohio, she has family nearby in Long Island and is excited to support pet parents in the region through both in-person and telehealth oncology consultations. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Norquest enjoys spending time with her husband, two young children, and her horse. She’s an avid gardener and butterfly enthusiast, and can often be found outdoors exploring local trails, tending to her pollinator garden, or starting up new house improvement projects.
