Carol Margolis

Veterinary Education: Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine

Residency: University of Pennsylvania

Dr. Carol Margolis is a board-certified specialist in small animal reproduction (Theriogenology) and a proud Long Island native, originally from East Setauket. She began her academic journey at SUNY Stony Brook, earning a Bachelor of Science in General Biology in 2008. During her high school and college years, she developed a strong interest in dog breeding and was active in collegiate equestrian competition.

Dr. Margolis earned her veterinary degree from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, completing her clinical year at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. While studying in the West Indies, she was deeply involved in campus and local community life—volunteering at a local zoo, captaining her school’s volleyball team, and enjoying the natural beauty of the island through hiking, camping, and scuba diving with her adopted island dogs.

After graduation in 2012, Dr. Margolis worked in a high-volume small animal practice serving a low-income area of the Bronx. She then completed a prestigious AKC/Theriogenology Foundation–sponsored residency in small animal reproduction at the University of Pennsylvania. She became board certified by the American College of Theriogenologists in 2016.

Following her residency, Dr. Margolis remained at the University of Pennsylvania as a Lecturer in Reproduction, Pediatrics, and Medical Genetics. She trained residents and fourth-year veterinary students in clinical theriogenology while also delivering lectures to third-year veterinary students.

Now, Dr. Margolis is thrilled to return home to Long Island—bringing with her the specialty of small animal reproductive medicine to serve the community where her journey first began.
