Bio coming soon!

Dr. Caitlin Cunningham

DVM

Dr. Cunningham graduated from The Ohio State University in 2020 and then went to Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital for an exotic animal medicine and surgery internship. She then stayed on there for her reptile/amphibian residency, which was completed in 2023. She additionally has experience in wildlife rehabilitation and animal enrichment. Her love for exotic animals and particularly reptiles, started in high school when she adopted her first scaley pet, Spaz, the bearded dragon. To this day, her favorite animal continues to be beardies.

Her passion is to provide high-quality medicine and care for all exotic pets, big and small. She enjoys educating pet owners on the special needs of their exotic pets and how to ensure each animal is provided with an enriching environment. She spends her free time volunteering at exotic animal rescues/wildlife rehabilitation centers and caring for her little zoo, which has birds, exotic companion mammals, reptiles, cats, fish, and even a tarantula. She dreams of opening an exotic animal sanctuary to provide lifelong homes for all furry, scaley, and feathered friends.

Dr. Brittany Bogus

DVM

Dr. Bogus graduated from Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, earning her degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2017. She practiced in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for one year before returning to her hometown in Medina County. She has been practicing small animal medicine in Northeastern Ohio for the last four years.

Dr. Bogus particularly enjoys soft tissue surgery but loves the variety of cases encountered in veterinary medicine. She also has a growing passion for exotic and aquatic animal medicine. Most of all, she loves partnering with her clients to cultivate the human-animal bond by equipping them with the knowledge and resources to help their pets live their best lives.

In her spare time, Dr. Bogus may be found playing the piano, horseback riding, painting pictures, or spending time with her significant other, Kyle, and her kitties, Trout and Rawas.

Dr. Hayes

DVM

Dr. Hayes is a graduate of The Ohio State University. She has been practicing medicine in Northeastern Ohio since 1999. She and her daughters share their home with many pets including rescue Rottweilers. On her off time, she enjoys spending time with her daughters, watching F1 racing (#TeamLH), visiting museums, and wandering the Metroparks.

Dr. Roger Brown

DVM

Dr. Roger Brown’s journey into veterinary medicine began in the waters of Florida, where he worked with marine mammals and discovered a natural talent for animal health while training medical procedures. That early passion evolved into a lifelong calling, eventually leading him to earn his veterinary degree from Ross University, with his clinical year completed at Colorado State University.

Dr. Brown’s professional interests include soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, dentistry, and acupuncture. He finds great fulfillment in helping pets live healthier, more comfortable lives, and is especially passionate about bringing advanced surgical care to his patients.

Beyond the clinic, Dr. Brown enjoys giving back to the community by volunteering at local vaccine clinics and spay/neuter facilities. When he’s not caring for animals, you’ll find him outdoors—golfing, fishing, or tackling yard projects. He’s also a devoted family man, proud to share life with his high school sweetheart of over 30 years, their two teenage sons, three beloved dogs (Charko, Bandit, and Winger), a flock of chickens, and even an axolotl.

Dr. Brown brings a wealth of experience, a compassionate approach, and a deep-rooted dedication to every patient and pet parent he serves.

Dr. Steven Shaw

Dr. Shaw was the consulting and practicing avian veterinarian for the Wild Wings Bird Show at Sea World-Six Flags Show from 1997-2001.

Although Avian Medicine and Dermatology are Dr. Shaws’ real passions, he is always challenged and strives to be a perfectionist in Dentistry, Cardiology, and Internal Medicine.
