Dr. Elise LaFevre, DVM

Dr. Elise LaFevre feels honored to be part of the Ventura community, helping pets and their families. She has always loved caring for pets and people. Growing up, she knew she would become a veterinarian. She completed her undergraduate studies and veterinary school at Oregon State University. Dr. LaFevre believes in an individualized approach to medicine. She wants each family to know their pet’s care is based on compassion and continued education. She received veterinary acupuncture certification from Colorado State University and loves incorporating acupuncture into western practice when possible. When she’s not at Cornelius Pet Hospital, Dr. LaFevre enjoys being active outdoors and spending time with her own pets. Dr’s LaFevre and Heikes’s fuzzy family currently includes four dogs, and a miniature pig.
