Dr. Ariel Kravitz has deep roots on Long Island. Her early passion for animals began with years of volunteer work at organizations like North Shore Animal League America and the Long Island Riding for the Handicapped Association. Recognized as Humane Teen of the Year by the Humane Society of the United States, Dr. Kravitz had the unique opportunity to assist in surgical MASH clinics on Native American reservations—experiences that sparked her love for veterinary surgery.
After graduating from Great Neck South High School, Dr. Kravitz earned her undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Vanderbilt University, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. She went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, where she graduated Phi Zeta, the national veterinary honor society.
Dr. Kravitz completed a rotating internship in medicine and surgery at the Animal Medical Center in New York City, followed by a three-year residency in small animal surgery at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital. She has presented at national conferences and authored several research articles in the field of veterinary surgery.
Her clinical interests include all aspects of surgery, with special focus on soft tissue procedures. She is certified in PennHIP and VetStem stem cell therapy, and most recently completed training in veterinary acupuncture—an integrative tool she uses to enhance patient recovery, reduce pain, and promote healing.
When not in surgery, Dr. Kravitz enjoys traveling, exploring New York City, and spending time with her family, her cat Millie, Sheltie Emmy, and her beloved dog-nephew Cooper
