Julie Rowley DVM, Dip ABVP (canine/feline), CCRP

Dr. Julie Rowley’s passion for sports medicine began with her undergraduate degree studying athletic training at San Diego State University. While in college she ran several different indoor sports facilities until she changed her entire career path and applied to veterinary school. She received her DVM from Oregon State University and Washington State University in 2001 and hasn’t looked back since! After 10 years of practice Julie decided she wanted to pursue more knowledge and expand her abilities to help animals. In 2011, Dr. Rowley became a Board Certified Specialist in Canine and Feline practice with the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners.  Dr Rowley knew she wanted to provide options and treatments to those patients who just needed more than basic medicine could provide.  That’s when Dr. Rowley decided to combine her love of animals and medicine with her passion for sports medicine and physical therapy. Julie finished her certification in small animal rehab from the University of Tennessee’s Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner program (this program includes cats as well). The next logical step was to get the equipment and facility she needed to start providing animal rehabilitation to her patients and to the community.  Dr. Rowley is currently a member of multiple veterinary and rehabilitation associations. When not working you can find her hiking, biking or kayaking all over Oregon with her husband Mark and her gorgeous English Shepherd Zeke
