Dr. Matt Uzzle, Medical Director
Dr. Uzzle was born in upstate New York, moved to Virginia at the age of 14 and now considers Virginia his home. His love for animals and interest in veterinary medicine began through the personal experiences he had with his own pets. Seeing the care and compassion that veterinarians displayed for his animals made him want to do the same for others. Dr. Uzzle graduated with honors from Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998 and was in private practice in the area until 2008 when he joined the BAVI team. He was recruited by BAVI because of his thoroughness and attention to detail. With cross-disciplinary clinical interests including cardiology, neurology, anesthesia, pain management and advanced imaging, he was ideal for BAVI. Dr. Uzzle works very closely with area family veterinarians, specialists and the neurologists at The LifeCentre & The Regional Veterinary Referral Center. He has formed many strong relationships with internists, criticalists and anesthesiogists over the years. He is committed to the advancement of veterinary medicine and passionate about helping people and animals by obtaining diagnoses through advanced imaging. Finally, he is charismatic and a great leader of the BAVI team.
