Dr. Berger-Bishop grew up in Norway, Tanzania, and Kenya, and came to the US to go to college. Growing up overseas was a great adventure, and biology has always been a primary interest in her life. This interest was fueled by a mother who was a human parasitologist, and spending all family vacations on safari in the bush. 

Dr. Berger-Bishop's interest in biology led her into research as a career, and she worked in various fields including marine biology, plant pathology, chemical analysis and phytoremediation. She received her Master's Degree in Herpetology at James Madison University, spending 2 spring seasons in the mountains collecting and studying salamanders. She then decided to change careers and went back to school for her DVM at the University of Georgia (go DAWGS!). She received her CVA in acupuncture in 2013.

At VCA Palmetto Animal Hospital, Dr. Berger-Bishop works mainly with cats and dogs, but loves to see reptiles and amphibians. Her areas of special interest include acupuncture and stem cell therapy. She loves to teach, and feels that it is important as a veterinarian to be able to communicate information to clients that can help them care for their pets in the best possible way. She herself strives to continue to learn and improve her skills and knowledge, so she can offer the highest quality medicine to all animals and their people. 

When not at work, Dr. Berger-Bishop loves growing bromeliads, jewelry making, the beach, and spending time with her husband (the love of  her life), and her furry children: a Pomeranian and 2 mixed breed dogs.
