We are delighted to announce that Dr. Kristian Sorbo is joining our team as Veterinary Medical Director at JM Pet Resort & Veterinary Clinic, effective October 15, 2024. With over 13 years of experience in both the UK and the US, Dr. Sorbo brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for animal care to our clinic.
Dr. Sorbo earned his veterinary degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2011 (BVM&S MRCVS) and passed the NAVLE boards in the same year. He is an expert in echocardiograms, sonography, general surgery, and emergency and critical care. Additionally, he completed the Veterinary Dental Practitioner program* with the International Veterinary Dentistry Institute in 2022, where he currently serves as an instructor for other veterinarians, demonstrating his commitment to providing the highest quality dental care in general practice.
Known for his warm, friendly demeanor, Dr. Sorbo meets pet parents where they are in their pet care journey, ensuring every visit is a comfortable and reassuring experience. As Veterinary Medical Director, he will lead our medical team with expertise and compassion, enhancing our services to support the health and well-being of your pets.
Dr. Sorbo grew up in Norway, where his passion for animals sparked during his summer job milking cows! In 2018, Dr. Sorbo and his wife made Massachusetts their home, where they are raising their young son. Their family also includes Sophie Spitfire, a sweet cat whose name doesn’t quite match her gentle personality. Dr. Sorbo is an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, skiing, and biking throughout New England.
Our growth is not just about adding new faces; it’s about building a team of veterinary experts who share our dedication to exceptional care and our commitment to 360° of Happy Health®. Dr. Sorbo’s appointment is just the beginning, as our practice will soon expand to include expertise in holistic medicine, as well as the ability to care for exotic pets and small pocket animals.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sorbo to JM Pet Resort & Veterinary Clinic! We look forward to this new chapter in delivering the best care possible for your beloved pets.
