DR. MARCI LOWY
Greetings,
Thank you for wanting to know more about me. I graduated Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in 1996. I got there after a couple twist and turns.
I graduated University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1987 with a Bachelors in Business Administration. I worked in banking for several years. This was not a good fit for me. After consideration, I returned to my childhood plan of becoming a veterinarian.
I entered the profession as a veterinary assistant at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston, Ma. This experience was valuable. I greatly appreciate what I learned as a technician and the other technicians who taught me skills I still use today.
I returned to Angell to complete an intership in small animal medicine and surgery. In 1997, my spouse David Tepfer and I moved to the Pioneer Valley to pursue farming and veterinary medicine.
I have practiced in Springfield, Athol, and Northampton. Most recently, I opened South Amherst Veterinary Hospital in May 2013.
David is co-owner of Simple Gift Farm in North Amherst. We have three children in the Amherst public schools.
I look forward to meeting you and your animal companion.

Fanta
Fanta is our beloved hospital cat. He has been with Dr. Lowy for 11 years and at the practice since it opened in 2013. You may have seen him hobbling around the office searching for patients to greet with his obnoxious yowl. He’s often finding trouble, but despite him trying our patience at times, we do love him.
