Join us for a Magical Night!
Enjoy cocktails, dinner and some unbelievable table-side performances while our staff Neurologist, Melissa A. Logan, Ph.D, DVM, DACVIM (Neurology), will speak briefly on the topic "Now you see it, now you don't." You'll learn about some of the advantages of using advanced imaging technology over radiographs for better diagnostics.
Join us for a magical night with neurology!
 Dr. Logan was born and raised in nearby Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from The Pennsylvania State University. After graduating, she spent a few years working as a veterinary assistant before applying to graduate school. Dr. Logan earned a Ph.D in Neurophysiology in 2003, where she studied mechanisms and treatment of acute spinal cord injury. After graduate school she attended Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated with her DVM in 2006. She stayed on at Purdue and completed a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery in 2007 and then completed her residency in Neurology in 2011. She is board certified in the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (Neurology). Her areas of interest include nerve and muscle disorders, spinal cord injury, as well as epilepsy.
