Dr. Mike Mannebach is a 2019 graduate of VA-MD College of Veterinary Medicine.  After completing his undergrad in New York, he moved to Virginia where he worked as a software developer for more than 10 years.  Though this first career was interesting and challenging, Mike felt pulled away.  His love of animals and appreciation of the human-pet bond led him to return to school and become a veterinarian.  He is a member of the AVMA, VVMA, and RVVMA.  Special interests in the field include surgery, dentistry, ultrasonography, sighthounds, and education.

Dr. Mannebach lives with his partner (Gillian), their daughter (Emily), 3 cats (Phoebe, Sammy, and Dalwhinnie-Puffybiscuits), and various hermit crabs and freshwater fish.  He enjoys indoor rock climbing, and helping out as a "dance-dad" at his daughter's studio.  He also retains his nerdy roots, enjoying science fiction, video games, and indulging in wonderfully-terrible movies.
