Steven Levy is a 1977 graduate
of the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Veterinary
Medicine. He practiced for two years in Guilford before
purchasing the Durham Veterinary Hospital from Dr. Foster
Mather in 1979. Dr. Levy made the practice an exclusive
small animal hospital and rapidly expanded the services
offered for dog and cat owners.
His role as a leading specialist on
canine Lyme disease has established Dr. Levy as an internationally
recognized authority on ticks and tick-borne diseases.
The American Veterinary Medical Association recognized
him with its prestigious Practitioner Research Award
for his accomplishments in adding to the knowledge of
canine Lyme disease from the base of a private practice
rather than a University or Veterinary School. Dr. Levy’s
research has focused on collecting data from the thousands
of patients he treats and analyzing and publishing that
information for the benefit of the Veterinary medical
community. More...
