Veterinarian
Dr. Julie Vezzetti grew up here in Marquette, where her grandfather fostered in her a love of the earth’s creatures that persists to this day. She remembers enlisting her sister’s help to smuggle everything from hamsters and guinea pigs to frogs and rabbits into her childhood home. After stints in Los Angeles-based television production and medical sales, she decided to come full circle and follow her true passion: veterinary medicine. Now, Dr. Vezzetti is a proud member of the Animal Medical Center of Marquette family!

After starting at Michigan State University as a pre-vet major, Dr. Vezzetti attended the University of Michigan to earn a degree in psychology and communication studies. After brief explorations into other career opportunities, her love of animals and science combined with the encouragement of her mentors—including Dr. Laura Klar, who would later become her colleague here at the clinic—inspired her to return to school. She completed her pre-veterinary work at Northern Michigan University and Michigan Technological University before heading to Iowa State University to earn her veterinary degree.
