As the dentistry guru and resident feline fanatic at our Main Street location, Dr. Cassianne Stadler knows all about what it means to care for those who can't speak with us. Her passion for pets has played a monumental role in shaping who she is today, and it undoubtedly shines through in not only the care she provides for her patients, but in her kindness and warmth during interactions with her clients as well. Come along with Marketing Manager Olivia as she learns just what fuels Dr. Stadler's enthusiasm for pet care and stewardship in the next installment of our DVM Interview Series:
Olivia: Dr. Stadler, you consistently speak on your own experiences with your pets and caring for them throughout your life. What is your earliest memory of your pets?
Dr. Stadler: While it's not technically my memory, my parents love to remind me about my childhood dog, Chester, the Golden Retriever. When I was a baby, my parents said I was always so intrigued by him and one day he tried to lick my face and evoked my first real, big, belly laugh. Even since infancy, animals are the main things that have always brought me joy
O: Is there something about you that most people do not know but would be surprised to hear?
CS: During my time in undergrad, I went to the Bahamas to assist on shark research. I spent the summer swimming with sharks & rays and learning about juvenile lemon shark behaviors and tiger shark migratory patterns.
O: If you could go back and have five minutes with your ‘younger self’, how would you use that time, or what would you say?
CS: I would tell her that unexpected things are going to happen in life, but you'll continue to grow with these changes. Just trust yourself and stay true to your values.
O: How do you want the world to be different because you lived in it?
CS: I would like to set an example by leading with kindness and respect in all the interactions that I have. Everyone has their own obstacles, and showing grace to friends, family, and strangers alike can make our lives in the world a bit easier to navigate.
O: When you find yourself with free time unexpectedly how do you spend it?
CS: I'll happily cuddle with my cat, Penelope! I also love baking cookies and trying new restaurants.
O: Thank you for your interview! We always end it with a favorite quote. What is yours?
CS: Can I give 2?
