Carey Zumpano, DVM
Diplomate ABVP
Dr. Zumpano received his veterinary degree from UC Davis in 1996 and completed an internship in surgery and emergency medicine at California Animal Hospital in Los Angeles. After completing his training, he worked in Philadelphia and in southern California, in general practice and emergency medicine.

In 2000, Dr. Zumpano began practicing in Baltimore and in 2002 was voted Baltimore’s “Best Vet.” In 2003 he completed advanced certification in general practice and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Canine and Feline Practice. He worked at Animal Medical Center in Mount Washington for 4 years, before the family returned to California. Once back in California, he worked in emergency and critical care medicine at the Pet Emergency and Specialty Center of Marin. In 2007, Dr. Zumpano’s wife, Sara, was offered a faculty position at Johns Hopkins. Happily, they have returned and settled here “for good.” Their family includes their two children, Ian and Ava, a dog of unknown breed heritage named Winnie, and a 3-legged cat named Grover.

Dr. Zumpano is a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, Canine and Feline Medicine. To attain advanced certification and Diplomate status a candidate must demonstrate extensive experience in multidisciplinary practice, submit case reports for approval, and pass a rigorous two day examination process. In short, it is a demonstration of a doctors commitment to being the best they can be.
