Dr. Samantha Moya

Dr. Moya graduated from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and has a passion for small animal medicine. Veterinary medicine had always been in the back of Dr. Moya’s mind, although for a long time she wondered if it might be too challenging a path to pursue. Before veterinary school, she was involved in research in the marine sciences. While she enjoyed the experience, she realized she wanted something more personal and fulfilling—she wanted the opportunity to directly care for animals and make a difference in the lives of the people who love them. One of her favorite parts of the profession is connecting with pet owners. Dr. Moya loves getting to know the people behind her patients, building relationships, and helping them feel supported.

Outside of work, family is a huge part of Dr. Moya’s life—and so is her beloved cat, Momo. Dr. Moya also loves being involved in her church and singing in the choir, although she’ll be the first to tell you not to request a solo! In her free time, Dr. Moya enjoys hiking, water sports, and just about any excuse to spend time in the water. Lastly, she likes to relax with either a good movie or a book.
