Dr. Tala Woodward has lived on both the east and west coast and first fell in love with Alaska right after college while doing salmon conservation work in Homer. After spending nearly 10 years in Seattle and then going to veterinary school at North Carolina State University, she was ready to come back to this beautiful state! Dr. Woodward's professional interests include pain management, canine rehabilitation, behavior, and dermatology. She lives with her partner (Steven), two chihuahuas (Chupie and Pixie), and a bunny (Jupiter).
