Veterinarian

Dr. Fedore graduated from Niles High School in 1971, Southwestern Michigan College in 1973 and Michigan State University in 1977. Right after vet school Dr. Fedore moved to Middlebury, Vermont to practice medicine. From 1977 to 1982 Dr. Fedore practiced veterinary medicine there until 1983 to move back home to work at Bergman Veterinary Medical Center. After some time at Bergmans, he decided to open up his own clinic, Fedore Large Animal Veterinary Services. Once the clinic was established Dr. Fedore became a referral site for equine colic along with other large animal surgeries. However, that is not where he drew the line for medicine. In 2016 Fedore Veterinary Services underwent an expansion to add a Small Animal wing which officially changed to Fedore Veterinary Services.
