Kristin Bailey, DVM, Diplomate, ACVS (Small Animal) is a Board-certified Veterinary Surgeon at MedVet Austin.
Dr. Bailey earned her Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical sciences from Texas A&M University in College Station, TX, where she also went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.
She then completed a yearlong rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL, followed by a Surgery residency at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA.
She belongs to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and the Capital Area Veterinary Medical Association (CAVMA).
She maintains clinical interests in soft tissue surgery including surgical oncology, wound management, and minimally invasive procedures. What she finds most rewarding about her work is being able to connect with pets and their families in a way that allows her to understand the best treatment options for each unique situation. Seeing patients recover from surgery and go on to live happier, healthier lives is what drives her passion for veterinary medicine.
When not caring for patients, Dr. Bailey enjoys running, cycling, hiking, and traveling. She also spends her free time exploring the Austin food scene, going birdwatching, and decorating birthday cakes for children in difficult life situations. At home, she is kept company by two cats and a standard poodle named Freddie.
