Rodney Unger, DVM – Dr. Unger is a 1993 graduate of the University of Illinois School of Veterinary Medicine giving him over 24 years of experience. When Dr. Unger was younger, he actually wanted to become a garbage man, however, somewhere between 3^rd and 4^th grade, he realized that veterinary medicine was his true calling. He grew up near a dairy farm that made their own ice cream in Leigh High Valley, Pennsylvania which helped him develop his love of animals. His favorite part of the job is not only helping pets recover, but helping them enjoy the entire veterinary experience. Dr. Unger is a huge believer in using Fear Free techniques making him a great asset to our team. He is an avid fitness lover, participating in triathlons that allow him to swim, bike and run a lot. His most recent accomplishment was finishing the Iron Man Challenge which consisted of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run which took about 15 hours. He trained for years to be able to accomplish this great adventure and plans on doing it again this September. Dr. Unger has a huge heart and loves to volunteer time to his church whether it’s to guest host or usher for services. He loves watching baseball and even though his heart belongs to the Cardinals, he does root for The Cubs thanks to his wife of 24 years.
