Dr. Karolina Ferreira was born and raised in a small village in northeast Poland. Growing up on a farm surrounded by livestock animals, she was used to caring for animals. She realized she wanted to become a veterinarian when she was very young and saw this "man wearing a white coat curing her very sick family dog."
Dr. Ferreira attended veterinary school in Poland. At the age of 22, she moved to the United States and continued her education in the US. She finished veterinary school summa cum laude at the University of Georgia in Athens.
Outside of work, Dr. Ferreira, her husband, William, and two young sons enjoy hiking, camping, fishing, skiing/snowboarding, and traveling. They share their home with a 2-year-old mixed-breed puppy, Clyde; a 4-year-old cat, Boczek (which means bacon in Polish); and five chickens (all named after music divas: Cher, Tina, Mariah, Whitney, and Celine).
Dr. Ferreira enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine, with a special interest in soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and end-of-life care. She also speaks fluent Polish.
Dr. Ferreira looks forward to the collaborative work environment and practicing the highest quality medicine possible at VCA Willow Creek Pet Center.
