Shannon Monaco

Dr. Shannon Monaco is a Long Island native who is excited to return home and care for pets in the community where she grew up. She earned her undergraduate degree from Stony Brook University before crossing the Atlantic to attend veterinary school at University College Dublin in Ireland.

After earning her veterinary degree, Dr. Monaco returned to Long Island to complete a rotating internship at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island. She then headed west to Washington State University, where she completed a three-year residency in small animal internal medicine. As a board-certified veterinary internist, she has extensive experience diagnosing and managing complex medical conditions. Her areas of particular interest include gastrointestinal disease, endocrinology, and immune-mediated disease.

Dr. Monaco is thrilled to be back on Long Island and join the Gold Coast team. She looks forward to developing lasting relationships with her patients, their families, and the local veterinary community. Outside of the hospital, she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and her rescue dog, Bruce. She also enjoys playing roller hockey, swimming, horseback riding, and baking.
