She has a lot of special interests including internal medicine, dentistry, behavior, geriatric/hospice care and all things cat. She is certified in veterinary acupuncture through the Chi Institute. When not working, Dr. Berkovitz spends her time chasing around her two young children with the help of a cattledog and tiny terrier-mix. Because life wasn’t hectic enough, she also recently adopted two kittens from Angel’s Wish. Dr. Berkovitz also loves to ski, exercise, read and eat chocolate chip cookies.

Elycia became a Certified Veterinary Technician in 2014 after spending 5 years as a high school English teacher. She now combines her love for literature, education, and animals as a writer for PetVet Magazine and instructor in Madison College’s Veterinary Technician program. Her favorite experiences as a veterinary professional have been traveling to rural Mexico to assist with low cost spay and neuter services and bottle-feeding orphan kittens for the Humane Society in Savannah, Georgia. Elycia is a Madison native and is happy to be involved in the animal care community here. She lives with her husband, one dog, and one cat.

Olivia

Veterinary Assistant/Assistant Manager

Olivia graduated from Mount Mary University in May 2019 with a Master of Science in Art Therapy degree. During her research in the art therapy program, she discovered significant findings in regard to the human-animal bond and the positive effects animals have in the therapeutic healing process. Olivia has found her path to veterinary medicine in hopes of someday opening a practice that provides veterinary care and animal assisted art therapy services. She hopes to give back to the many animals that have helped their owners emotionally and unconditionally. In her free time, Olivia enjoys going for walks with her pomskies, Elvis and Willow, snuggling with her emotional support cat, Seamus, reading, drawing, and eating sushi!
